    I teach elementary (3-5) and I want to do something cute for my students for Purim Shtick. I thought of showing up wearing their uniform but does anyone have any better ideas?

    I will not eat green eggs and ham.

    change ur classroom around. the uniform idea is very cute. also you can let the girls "teach" for lets say 15 minutes.

    Tell it to me, and I will tell you if its Loshon Hara :)

    stand in front of them facing the board and teach as if you are facing them. Or stand in the back of the room and teach. Kids that age always think it's funny when something funny is going on but you are pretending everything is fine.

    Hand out homework sheets with the name of a competing school. When they question it, tell them the school is being taken over by <insert the name of the competition>

    tries to get out of sticky situations..:)

    Another good idea is to hand out a pop quiz and announce that this is a test. Make funny questions appropriate for their level Write the directions that says please turn over the test without doing any examples. MOST GIRLS WILL NOT READ THE DIRECTIONS AS THE INTERESTING, AND FUNNY QUESTIONS WILL CATCH THEIR ATTENTION.
    So make a interesting and fun test for example:
    1. What is the name of the girl sitting next to you?
    2. List the posters in the classroom
    3. Draw a complicated maze ..etc..
    The game will be how many students will pick up on the fact that you are not supposed to actually fill it out..

    If you have a doorway with 2 doors, put a sign on each door saying "please use other door" with an arrow pointing to the other sign.

    My teacher gave out such a quiz one year. We were told to follow the direction. The questions themselves were not only complicated as all get out, but a REAL physical tircha. If, however we read the directions thoroughly, they stated, "Sign your name at the top of the sheet and disregard the rest.Hand in the paper." NOT a single one of us got it right. But you could hear the groans as we tried to actually do the things that the test questions listed.

    Shtick on a Stick :)

    After eating their snack on taanis esther, my wife told her class to find the extra piece that we add in for taanis esther in al hamichya before they begin benching. Nebbich they were searching for ages before realizing that there's probably nothing added in to benching on a fast day! They found it soooo funny.

    I wore the uniform of the school when I taught 5th grade, the girls found it hysterical. I wore a pony and a sweatshirt.
    Recess time all the teachers jumped rope in the hallway, for that age this was perfect. These kids think teachers are inhuman whatever you do is funny even if its not creative.
    For 8th graders you need to be shticky.

    in abt 6th-8th grade one of my young teachers played a trick on us.
    she came to school and pretended she was engaged. We really believed her, even when she told us that she's getting married very soon, leaving our school and moving to Texas!
    we all danced with her and my other teacher believed her too! I was devastated because she was my favorite teacher ever, and i started crying in the bathroom!(LOL!) ...in the end she took the microphone and said sm like "PURIM SAMEACH- IT WAS A JOKE! :D" ..most girls laughed and some girls told her i was crying in the bathroom and she came to me and felt soo bad :) and she told me i had permission to play a trick on her (not a disrespectful one)...anyway that was one teacher trick I'll never forget!

    Like oomis1105's idea as well as Shticky Guys. B"H/unfortunately I am happily married so cannot try out the engagement one. Perhaps it could be adjusted to a sudden move to a "competiting" school?
    I made a wordsearch for my class, promised them a reward for each kid that found all the words. Problem was I made sure NON of the words existed there! Took about ten minutes for the first bright spark to say "Are these words here or is it a Purim shtick!"
    My class requested I come a few minutes late into class. They hung up a notice on the door stating "Cooking up a purim shtick"
    As I entered they all stood at the back of the room with saucepans on their heads, one kid had an apron and chefs hat on, with a spachelor and large pot in his hand. Was really cute!
