Print on sturdy card-stock for longer-lasting classroom use. Store the cards in photo boxes or craft boxes, or keep them as a small set on your whiteboard sill or teacher’s desk so they’re always within arm’s reach.

These cards are ideal for whole-class breaks, quick resets between lessons, or moments when energy or focus dips unexpectedly. Let students take turns choosing a card to build engagement and classroom ownership.

Note: Boxes in the image are the 'photo / craft' boxes from Kmart (Australia). You can also get them from Amazon.
