I also use this to check for understanding w/ older students, or to review art directions w/ them before starting an activity. Such as, "And when you are finished, take your papers and put them __________" (put my hand up to my ear and the class verbally fills in the blank) That way, the ones who know answer and the ones who weren't listening get one more chance to hear the directions.

Seriously. I think about your energy and how you present things to the kids and I think "What would Cassie do?" Haha! I did what I'm calling the "Elements Jive" (your hand gestures) with my kids today and they loved it! Especially "color, baby, color" and the form gesture. And I'm TOTALLY gonna do Larry the Line with my kinders soon.
