Sit Down Herzberg!!!!

This is a really simple activity this that allows students to really experience a hygiene factor and is perfect for the lesson after Herzberg has been taught.

Before the students enter the classroom I hide all the chairs in a cupboard.

When they walk in they obviously ask me where the chairs are. I simply tell them that we ordered them new chairs and got rid of the old ones but the new chairs are delayed and won't arrive until tomorrow.

They always say, 'well what are we supposed to do?'. Simple, sit down or stand up!

Bingo. Dissatisfaction in the classroom! 'No way am I standing up for an hour sir', 'thats shocking'

I let them stew for a few minutes and then explain that their chairs are simply a hygiene factor. Without them they feel dissatisfied but having chairs wouldn’t increase their motivation within the lesson.

Job done.............
