Glow Sticks.
We have our sabha in what is essentially a very large closet. One of the strengths of having our sabha in a large closet is that it is very easy to make it really dark. One of the kishores who was a guest speaker this week decided to use this to his advantage. He bought glow sticks. He gave each balak three of them, turned out the lights, and had them raise the glow sticks to answer questions. They all got to take the sticks home with them. The kids were happy. They paid attention. It Worked!
The challenge was handling their excitement and realizing before hand that they will swing those sticks around. So we needed to give them opportunities to do so during the story.
