- Involve students in writing the classroom rules. Take this one step further and discuss the possible consequences for not following the rules.
- Provide students with the opportunity to win at a game. It is often easier to lose when you already have a victory under your belt.
- Use creative ways to get students attention after a
transition – clapping games or finger plays.
- Have a talking stick – only the student holding the stick
can talk – everyone else is being a good listener.
- When the activity a student has chosen is already full set a
timer so that they will know when it is their turn.
- Give classroom jobs. Rotate the jobs each week so everyone
gets to try different jobs.
- Make get well cards for sick relatives or friends.
- Share feelings at circle time. Make sure people talk about
why they are feeling that way.
- Draw it and then talk about it.
