Manipulatives are great to use in any classroom; however, using hands-on manipulatives will be a struggle this year--thanks to COVID-19. I used stress balls last year to help keep students engaged. This does become a problem due to sanitation. Bouncy desk bands will aid in keeping students focused and engaged. With all the distractions going on in our world at this time, students being able to move and release extra energy and/or frustrations while they work is essential. By bouncing their legs and feet, students will spend more time on task since they will not be as hyperactive or anxious.
