Interactive Mishnayos

When introducing the first mishnah in Bava Metzia, secretly arrange for two boys to be waiting in the hall at the beginning of class. At your cue, have the two boys come into the classroom, each of them pulling on the same tallis and claiming it as his own, beginning the lesson with a visual imprint of the case being discussed. This method can be used in many cases found in mishnah. Participation in the interactive introduction can be awarded as a prize for good work or behavior, or can be used to be mechazek weaker students.
