Shhhhhh! "ATTENTION GETTERS"
Is, “Shhhhhh!”
not working? Well, here are a few tricks NEW TRICKS by Dr. Jean, for you to
try!
Student
Heroes
5-4-3-2-1-zero (Hold up
hand and put down one finger at a time.)
I’m looking for
my student heroes. (Make circles with index fingers and thumbs and
place around eyes like
glasses.)
*Call the names
of children who are sitting quietly.
Special
Signals
Blow
bubbles. Challenge children to look at you and be quiet before all the bubbles
pop.
T Turn on a music
box. When children hear the music they should freeze.
Turn off the
lights, play a xylophone or chime, or make some other unique noise.
Simon Says
Begin a game of Simon
Says:
Simon says clap three
times.
Simon says put your hands in
the air.
Simon says touch your
ears.
Simon says blink your eyes,
etc.
As children join in the game lower your
voice as you say:
Simon says put your hands in
your lap and
listen to me…line up at the
door…get out your
math books,
etc.
Look at
____!
If you can find
one child in your room exhibiting the behavior you are looking for then you can
say, “If you don’t know what to do, look at child’s
name.”
Magic Clap
Explain to the children that you have a
magic signal that only your class will know about. Every time you clap your
hands, you want them to repeat the clap and look at you. Practice clapping
various patterns until all the children have joined in..
If You Can Hear My
Voice
In a normal voice
say:
If you can hear my voice, clap your hands one time.
If you can hear my voice, clap your hands one time.
In a softer voice
say:
If you can hear my voice, clap
your hands two times.
In a whisper voice
say:
If you can hear my voice,
please look at me.
Continue lowering your voice until children
are focused on you.
Criss Cross
Criss cross, (Sit
on floor and cross legs.)
Be your own boss. (Fold
your arms and nod head.)
Sitting
Chant
1, 2, 3, 4 - glue
your bottoms to the floor.
5, 6, 7, 8 - hands
to yourself and sit up straight.
