Testimonials
“Our team was at a low point and it was having an impact on our ability to collaborate at our morning meeting. I pulled out Chaos in the Classroom and dealt the cards. We played two quick rounds and, suddenly, everyone was laughing and energized. The game helped us realign with one another and our bigger mission - to serve teachers and students. I love Chaos in the Classroom as a team builder!”
— Kristina Lehman, Behavior Specialist/Specialist Lead, Orange County Public Schools
“Chaos in the Classroom is a great activity to use as an intro to a staff meeting. When we had a heavy week, but still had things to cover, starting with a laugh over shared experiences was the best intro I could have asked for! Our staff was laughing and crying over the extended response questions! I definitely will be playing this more in the future!!”
— Melissa Gordon, Principal, Camelot Elementary School, Orlando, FL
“Exhilarating and enlightening, Chaos in the Classroom is an absolute gem! It brilliantly captures the essence of the classroom dynamic while infusing it with strategic gameplay and laughter-inducing scenarios. Whether you're a seasoned educator or simply curious about the world of teaching, this game offers a delightful mix of entertainment and insight. I played Chaos in the Classroom with a group of team leaders as a team building activity and it was an absolute blast! Prepare to be entertained, challenged, and thoroughly amused with Chaos in the Classroom!”
— Christie DePriest, Assistant Principal, Hunter’s Creek Elementary School, Orlando, FL
“We used Chaos in the Classroom to open our faculty meeting and everyone loved it! It was a great way to turn something mundane and routine into something lively and fun, and the game is easy to modify to fit your needs!”
— Justina Morgan, Testing Coordinator, Orange County Public Schools
“We had just met for a long day of grade level meetings discussing the new Literacy Briefs that we will need to implement by 2025, another new initiative, and it was the 100th day of school. What better way to bring smiles on teachers' faces and to celebrate our successes than "Chaos in the Classroom". My teachers had no idea that what should have been a faculty meeting was going to bring them joy, laughter and building camaraderie as a faculty. I had a team captain at each table to explain the procedures and rules of the game. Within minutes I could see smiles on their faces and hear the laughter fill the cafetera. That night I received a text from one of my staff members. " That game was so fun. It was nice to hear everyone having fun and laughing together! It is definitely what everyone needed. We should use this for our September Superintendent's Conference Day so everyone can relax and get to know each other for the new school year." Not only did this game bring much needed laughter and smiles into my school, it also brought us together as a faculty to acknowledge what we do as educators and with a profession that can be so taxing at times, made it so much brighter! I would highly recommend Chaos in the Classroom for your school!”
