I am looking for something FUN to do in my Psych class on the topic of ADHD?

I have to do a 1 hr class on ADHD- I am looking for some fun things to do with my class. Games, etc. I thought about running some facts on ADHD on a power point while something else (loud music, irritating noise, etc) and then having them take a test so that they can try and understand how it feels to have ADHD??? Of course, I am in a college and I have to watch noise levels?? Does anyone have any UNIQUE ideas? Thanks

I think your idea is a great one, and what I would have suggested. You could also have other things going on that might be distracting to most people somewhere in the classroom. I don't think the levels of noise need to be extremely high, but probably pretty irritating or annoying in some way. Try testing yourself to see what you find distracting, or someone else you know.

I would put the t.v on something that everyone would be interested in LOUD and then stand and give a lecture and say they will have a pop quiz on ADHD (you don't actually have to give them the quiz) but let them see what it feels like when you know you should be paying attention but can't help but get distracted.
