Conductor
One student conducts the group like an orchestra — using only gesture.
Creates collective sound and demands attention — students must watch and respond instantly.
Instructions
Split into four sections, each assigned a sound. One student conducts — pointing at sections to start/stop them, raising hands to get louder, lowering to get quieter. Switch conductors every 90 seconds. No words from the conductor.
Classroom timer
8:00
Best used when
When a group needs to learn to pay attention to each other rather than just the teacher.
Variation
Each section gets a word from the current lesson topic — the conductor creates meaning through rhythm.
