 +"Conver-Stations" is a strategy to get kids to move around while they discuss the questions given by their teacher. Each group is made up of 4 people and each group helps to form a circle around the room. They are all given a question to discuss and after about ten minutes of discussion in their group, two of the four kids move to their left to be a part of a new group. They will share their ideas from their previous group and create new ones with their new group.
