Or this one.



Your students are very creative. Put the students into groups and have them create a rap for area and/or perimeter.  They will love it, and you will love the increase in student achievement.  



Students love movement. Ask any student...they will tell you they like to move around, collaborate, and participate in hands-on activities. I bet you prefer your professional development days to be the same way. It's no wonder because brain research tells us that movement increases achievement. Here are some perimeter task cards (more fun than worksheets) to help you teach math while creating movement.
