Invigilating

For the exam season: a few fun games to play while invigilating:

Battleships (with thanks to P-Dogg (20 Stone))
Use the individual desks in the exam hall as your grid. Draw out your battle ships. Fire shots at your partner's fleet by stationing yourself besides relevant student's desk. So Joe Bloggs sitting his English Paper at the top left of the hall will be square A1 and the student beside him will be A2 and the student behind him will be B1 etc.

Most likely to...
Go and stand behind the student who you and think is most likely to...
...succeed.
...fail.
...cheat.
...end up in prison. etc
Your co-invigilator will do likewise and much hilarity ensues.

Honesty
Time to let it all out. Drop your professional veneer of impartiality and let truth lead the way. Similar to the game above. Go and stand behind the student that...
...you hate.
...you find amusing.
...is your pet.
...you would like to fail.
etc.

Any other ideas?

Grow up!

Yesterday T put his hand up to ask me if he could go out of the room to fart. He asked the question during a quiet lull and yet no-one laughed.

Naturally, I thought it hilarious.

For a moment time stood still and I realised that I was more immature than a class of Year 7s.
