It’s never too early to start planning your first-week fun in the Zone! We’ve created a list of 80 ready-to-go activities, organized by grade band — 20 for each (K–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12).

💡 From emote games and classroom scavenger hunts to virtual murals and Connect 4 tournaments, this collection makes it easy to build excitement and connection right from day one.

👉 Use the tabs at the bottom of the doc to explore by grade level — and start planning now!

We’re almost there! The “Create Your Own Classroom Zone” button is set to launch in July, making it easier than ever for teachers to build their own instructional space in the K12 Zone.

In the meantime, several powerful new tools are already live — designed specifically to support classroom use:

🟢 Recording: Moderators can now record broadcasts for playback or documentation
✋ Raise Hand: Students can alert the teacher and appear in a visible queue
🎙️ Mic Control: Moderators can enable/disable mics for individuals or everyone
📷 Turn Off Camera: Moderators can turn off a student’s camera if needed
🛠️ Coming Soon: Attendance tracking is in development and expected this fall!

👉 Don’t want to wait for the button? You can still request your Classroom Zone today:
