neither/ no kidding!

neither: Today was very pressed for time and both the WOD and POD were basically flops. "Neither" I explained as not wanting to do two things. I taught "both" in contrast (Do you want to eat ice cream or candy? Both!) Trying to squeeze this into about 3 minutes at the end of the day did not provide much time for me to explain it better. Instead of scrapping the whole idea, tomorrow I will ask them things like "Do you want to go to the Police Station or the Hospital?" (places they have learned that they never want to go to).

no kidding!: "Really? That's so cool!" Again, beyond explaining this I had only 30 mins of teaching time left to use this in context while simultaneously teaching a lesson. No immediate success but with all the stories I plan on faking interest in, "No kidding!" is a great way to show enthusiasm.
