Ballyhoo is a fun way to get a lot of information to participants quickly.  It's like "Speed Dating" for gifted activities.  Our Ballyhoo sessions will last for 10 minutes, and they are typically "make and take" activities that can be used immediately in classrooms.  We'll continue the theme, "All of Us" for Ballyhoo, so activities will relate accordingly.  This could involve (but not limited to) teamwork, diversity, parent involvement, affective needs, etc.
