fun things kids say as first class attention grabbers

[Siva priya Santhanam]

I have used this video in class for some fun element. The Still face
paradigm video (also on YouTube) happens to be a good one that students
generally enjoy watching; it has opened a lot of discussion and comments in
class.

Thanks,
Siva priya Santhanam
