Pass The Drop app for iPhone and iPad

A lack of concentration can make it difficult for kids to learn. Designed to be used in a group or classroom setting, this app helps to focus students’ attention on the work at hand.

Rate the current level of concentration for the group and choose the preferred level of difficulty. Have the children pass the tablet to each other while keeping the drop in the circle. When finished, rate the level of concentration now. Did you see an improvement? To make it more challenging, consider adding in more than one tablet at a time or have kids close their eyes while they pass the tablets.

The ability to focus our attention is a critical skill for success. Kids love Pass the Drop so much they won’t even know they are building attention skills!

Pass the Drop is inspired by Susan Kaiser Greenland’s Pass the Cup activity. Want to learn more about focusing attention? Read The Mindful Child by Susan Kaiser Greenland and visit her website at http://www.susankaisergreenland.com/inner-kids.html or visit www.momentousinstitute.org.
