It’s been my practice to share a fist bump with every student at the beginning of every class as they file in. Those fist bumps add up to a degree of proximity comfort that cannot be overstated. Nevertheless, the advice has been to do
elbow
bumps instead and I tried those just now and it makes me have to get much closer to the student, close enough to
smell
them, and we’ll be sticking with fist bumps.

Joke’s on them. I lick my elbows regularly.

hahahaha about the smell part, but I will say if we’re all supposed to cough into our elbows, i don’t recommend an elbow bump...

Foot taps are where it’s at!

See this is where you really should be using “live long and prosper” instead!

It is also an option not to fist bump or elbow bump

Getting close enough to smell middle school students probably isn't a good thing.

Generally, you don’t need to be very close. Shop Teacher can tell you about this.

Middle school students may be quite pungent. Thus t he radius of space surrounding them in which you can detect their odor is large.

Can we just make awkward finger guns an acceptable option?

Luckily my sense of smell is not particularly keen.
One of the few ... or probably only ... benefit of growing up with parents that were both heavy smokers, who thought nothing of smoking in the house/car with the windows closed.

That’s actually rather impressive.
