Morning Meeting is an essential time for EVERY classroom!

If you know about morning meetings and just want some quick morning meeting ideas – here is your list!

What is a virtual Morning Meeting?

Morning meetings usually have a specific structure: greeting, share, activity, message. (Responsive Classroom)

I have an entire Morning Meeting Workshop that walks through how I did morning class meetings with my students!

Like the exact structure, with exclusive templates and everything to make it easy peasy!

Why should you have class meetings?! Morning meetings are so important to set the tone for the day, build social-emotional learning, allow fun and connection for students and the teacher!

What are the best distance learning morning meeting games and activities?

Let’s dive right into the best virtual morning meeting games, but remember they work for in person too – just screen share and go!
