Have them place the bean bag on their head and wait behind the start line. One at a time, each child will need to weave through the chairs, while balancing the bean bag on their head, around the last one, and come back to the start and pass the bean bag to the next person who will do the same thing.

Teaching – Today during my 8th-grade classes the students worked on a K’nex’s laboratory activity. For this activity the students had to build a 3-D model of DNA.

According to Sky News, “They're being passed around the class, they're out in the in the playground, and actually it just becomes a distraction.” Hence, it is revealed that when students are not using the fidget spinners appropriately it becomes a distraction in class.
