Writing on windows and doors really works! Not every lesson obviously haha but it really seems to engage the children further!
In my last classroom I had 3 huge windows so would often set the first task on the 3 windows after the initial input. It's just quite fun too! Or get them to write on their desks/tables!
You just need the right cleaning spray so it comes off easy!
Exactly this! It provides a sense of intrigue. Breaks down the barrier of the weighted expectation of a blank page. I also totally agree about writing on tables. When I first saw this in a school I worried that it seemed, in a sense, disrespectful. However, as you say, when the right cleaning spray is applied it cleans up like new. Saving precious time finding a whiteboard or a bit of scrap paper.
