Rotary Telephones

Brought a rotary telephone into the classroom the other day for a couple of "phone message" activities. Showed them how to dial up a girl for the first time in Jr. High. Dial the seven digits, but hold the dial on the last one. Then you can let go of the dial and hang up. Or, after about 20 times of doing that, you finally hold onto the receiver and sweat while waiting for their mom or dad to answer.
