The days leading up to the holiday break can be a mix of excitement and exhaustion for teachers as they wrap up the school year. One popular trend making its way into classrooms is the āGuess the Voiceā challenge on TikTok. This challenge involves teachers trying to identify their students by voice, showcasing the strong connections they have with their students.
Three teachers who have taken on this challenge and shared their experiences on TikTok are Miss G, Mr. Shackleton, and Miss Z. The game is simple ā the teacher sits with their back to the students, who then take turns speaking a phrase or greeting. The teacher must guess which student is speaking based solely on their voice.
In the videos shared by these teachers, it is heartwarming to see their reactions as they recognize or sometimes misidentify their students’ voices. From older students to the youngest, the game brings joy and laughter to the classroom.
Miss G impressed everyone with her ability to guess her students’ voices accurately, while Mr. Shackleton and Miss Z had fun interacting with their students, even when they got a few guesses wrong. The challenge has been a hit in classrooms because it is easy to set up, requires no special materials, and provides a fun break during the busy end-of-year activities.
Playing the āGuess the Voiceā challenge not only fosters a sense of community and connection in the classroom but also strengthens the teacher-student relationship in a personal and meaningful way. As the school year winds down, adding this simple activity can bring joy and smiles to the classroom while celebrating the unique bond between teachers and students.
If you’re looking for a fun and engaging activity to try in your classroom, consider giving the Guess the Voice challenge a go.
