♥ Pay What It Was WorthUse the awkward window
Empty time is easier when the class knows what kind of moment it is.
Seven spare minutes before lunch is different from twenty minutes at dismissal. A substitute-day gap is different from a morning that needs a shared start. The useful move is to match the structure to the window instead of filling every gap with the same activity.
Use First 20 when students need a quick shared activation that can sit beside arrival routines without becoming a second lesson.
Use Last 20 when the day needs a contained landing. Choose something with a clear ending so dismissal does not interrupt the payoff.
A story case can give the room one shared mission when normal routines are already different. Keep the instructions visible and the teacher role simple enough that another adult can run it.
Do not launch a twenty-minute story because the lesson ended early. Use a smaller Fix or N.O.W. when the real problem is simply a short gap.
The best empty-moment activity leaves the class ready for what comes next. If the next block needs calm, do not choose the loudest option just because you have time to fill.
