Get Ready To Be Impressed With How This Teacher Uses Lip Smackers Balm in Her Classroom

The different scents can work wonders!

Learn how to use Lipsmackers in the classroom

Alina Bitter has figured out a genius way to use the power of smell in her kindergarten classroom. She created a TikTok video recently about how she motivates her students with Lip Smackers in the classroom. She doesnā€™t use it for lips, though.

When her students show they are listening or staying on task, sheā€™ll come by and give them a quick dot on their hand with a Lip Smackers flavor. ā€œAll they do is smell it, and theyā€™re obsessed,ā€ Alina says. ā€œItā€™s such a happy time. Simple, easy, effective. Highly recommend.ā€

We loved this idea so much that we decided to put together some ideas on ways you can use common flavors from this multipack. Of course, these arenā€™t based on science and you should definitely feel free to put your own spin on this idea, but we couldnā€™t help pairing up scents with common classroom scenarios.Ā
