Are you a passionate educator looking for innovative ways to create a positive, engaging learning environment? Enhance your classroom management and build a culture of respect and academic excellence with The Essential 55 by Ron Clark.

As a companion to the book—and perhaps the workbook—this resource offers editable Canva slides that can be used with students, parents, and even shared on your school’s social media. It's a powerful tool to extend the impact of The Essential 55 across your entire school community.

How It Works:

• Focus on one rule each day, following the sequential order of Ron Clark’s 55 rules.
• Use the slides in various ways: print them to send home to parents weekly, display them in your classroom as a guide, or share them on your school or classroom’s social media page to keep families engaged.
• You can also project the slides on your smartboard to teach, model, and reinforce each rule in your classroom every week.

Each slide features one of Ron Clark’s essential rules alongside a relevant image, helping to visually reinforce the concept. The slides are fully editable, allowing you to customize them to fit your school’s specific needs. You can even swap out the default images with pictures of your own students demonstrating the rule in action.

This resource is designed to be flexible and adaptable, making it easy to integrate The Essential 55 into your classroom or school culture. Whether you're looking to involve parents, enhance classroom discussions, or share the rules across your school’s social platforms, these slides offer a seamless way to keep the rules front and center.

As educators, we shifted away from incorporating hands-on resources in the classroom during the onset of COVID-19. Utilizing hands-on materials provides students with a tactile and experiential approach, offering a tangible way for learners to connect with abstract concepts and enhance understanding. Through hands-on engagement, such as manipulating objects or participating in interactive activities, students can more readily comprehend intricate ideas and improve information retention.

⭐ **If you choose to use the blank | customized version: **Each group receives a blank Roll & Match worksheet organized by topic, with sections for Strength, Struggle, and Support under numbers 1–6. Students begin by working together to create their own prompts based on the chosen topic. Once complete, they take turns rolling a die, selecting one prompt from the matching row, and responding aloud or in writing. Group members may listen, connect, or ask follow-up questions if they wish.

▶ This resource also includes two teacher guidance worksheets, each aligned to the activity formats to ensure you know exactly how to begin and facilitate these engaging dice-rolling activities. The guidance sheets provide a clear overview of the purpose of the activity, a list of topic editions, materials needed, setup instructions, and step-by-step directions for how to play.

As students roll and respond to prompts, they’re:

✔️ Helping students reflect on their interests, daily habits, and personal challenges

✔️ Encouraging them to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe way

✔️ Promoting active listening and meaningful peer connections

✔️ Supporting the development of self-awareness, empathy, and a sense of belonging

✔️ Laying the groundwork for a respectful, supportive classroom community

▶ Whether using the 360 pre-made prompts or the editable version where you or students generate their own prompts, this activity transforms surface-level introductions into deeper, more meaningful conversations. It’s more than a get-to-know-you game—it’s an opportunity for students to share authentically and discover common ground.

WHAT'S INCLUDED....

1. Four Corners Icebreaker

Use this fun whole class activity to get your students up and out of their seats and making connections! You will find a few typical all about me questions, but the majority of the slides are geared toward the interests of teenagers, leaning into social media, musical artists, food, fashion and more! You definitely won't see overused questions like "what's your favorite color?" or "How many siblings do you have?" You'll see instant engagement as students realize this isn't another boring classroom game.

Simply print the included labels for each corner of your classroom and project one of the questions. Read it aloud, then students should move to the corner that corresponds with their answer choices.

2. Four Corners Mini Debate Activity

Teacher burnout begone!!! You AND your students will love this fun activity! Perfect as icebreakers for those in-between days during back to school when you don't have anything planned. This Four Corners Mini Debate Activity is a great no-prep activity that you can use any time of year for a fun, engaging activity that your students will LOVE!

Students will love moving around the room as you click through the 35 debatable topics - mostly controversial, but some are silly as well! This is perfect for middle school/high school, but teachers are encouraged to preview the statements and skip over any which you feel are too controversial for your student population. (I definitely stayed away from the most controversial topics).

►You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to voice their opinions, defend their positions, and even learn something new!

►The printable Reflection Sheet will allow them to reflect on the ideas presented, and asks them to discuss two issues that they may have changed their stance on after the debate and the reasons why. This is an activity I use in my classroom every year and I know your students will love it!

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

• 35 Statements (Google Slides)

• Includes a Blank Editable Slide

• 5 Printable Classroom Signs

• Student Reflection Sheet

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE:

►If you agree with the statement, move to the side of the room labeled “Agree” or “strongly agree.” If you disagree, move to the side of the room labeled, “Disagree” or “strongly disagree.” If you’re not sure how you feel about the topic yet, move to the side of the room labeled, “Undecided.” (I typically have "undecided" students stand in the middle and hang the other posters in the four corners of the room.)

***Students should be prepared to defend their position even if they’re undecided.
