Eeny, meeny, miny, moe!

In my Oral English classes, I occasionally have a problem finding volunteers to speak or perform dialogues. Last semester, I would solve this problem by simply out-waiting my students. This semester, however, I only have my students for two hours each week. There is no time to waste! If there are no volunteers, then I must be able to make a quick selection of which student will go first. I choose the students using a traditional and common rhyme called "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe."

The rhyme sounds like this:
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
My mother told me,
To pick the very best one,
And that is Y-O-U are it!

So if you are indecisive, like me, this can be a very helpful rhyme :)

Just for a little extra color, I'm going to add a picture of one of my classes below. Yay freshman!
