Episode 8. Ideas for Fast Finisher Activities in the Art Classroom

Art Teacher, in today’s podcast, we’re going to talk about what to do with those Fast Finishing students.

Now, there are two reasons kids finish fast. First, they finish fast because they are focused and on task and don’t spend time getting distracted or procrastinating. The second reason is that they just rushed right through.

If you suspect some rushing, kindly ask the student to either add more detail to their work or slow down and take their time to do their best, or ask them to put it on the white board with a magnet and stand back to look at the work to see if they, themselves, can find any areas to improve on.

Either way, you’re always going to have students finish before the rest so let’s take a look at some ideas or routines that you can build into your classroom so that students know what to do when they’re done so they don’t have to ask you and so that you don’t have to instruct them on what to do EVERY time.
