The kids and I were sitting on the rug in a circle, and I was previewing a fine motor center for them (using tweezers to take cotton loops out of a hard plastic ball with holes). So I said "To put it away, just ...open the bag, put the ball and tweezers in the bag, and closer the bag" which to my surprise apparently really impressed my kiddos. They gave me a round of applause in unison. It totally caught me off guard and made me laugh. For the rest of that afternoon until lunch they would applaud after each little lesson.
