Yes! I did this with DS8 when he was 6 and in grade 1.

It was the pace of the activity that shut him out. It was soooo sloooowww.... I could feel myself getting stressed out on his behalf. He was in and out of his seat, looking under his desk, staring at the ceiling, examining the overhead projector to see how it worked, following the path of the electrical cords, etc etc, all becauuussee tthheee leeessssoonnn wwaasss soooooooo sssllloooowwww...
