"If you can hear my voice, clap once. If you can hear my voice, clap twice." is a good way to interrupt a noisy classroom. Kids notice that other kids are doing something, and they don't want to be the only ones not doing it. A nice way to get their attention.

Another Nurse Hack that I find really works with my kids is letting them know if they don't feel well or if their leg hurts or arm hurts then they probably shouldn't be playing at recess. That normally fixes the problem.

jumps in the car to the dollar store for an ice pack and minute timer

Camara in the room...I know a kindergarten teacher who tells her class to wave at the Internet thingy she has on her wall near the ceiling while she secretly texts the security lady and tells her who's doing what by name. Security lady then calls on the phone and gets put on speaker to say hello and tell certain kids what she saw. The kids get a kick out of this. :0

I've been teaching for many years. The children today are way different. I really found this helpful.

Omg that mystery student trick is brilliant

LOVE the "in trouble or out of trouble" for tattles, so stealing that! Great way to teach the difference! Thanks!

I love these! thank you for sharing :) one I use when my class has lots of things on the floor is... 'Class there is one magic item on the floor. The first to find it gets a prize!' the children then pick up EVERYTHING from the floor and hold it. When enough time has passed I tell them what it is and then the children put the items in their hand away. Works like a charm 👏

A few years ago after Christmas when stocking stuffers were 1/2 priced, I bought a small sound machine from Walgreens for $5 (I think). It has 16 noises, from applause to boos and funny sounds. Getting to choose a noise is a great reward that is sooo popular with my kids.

The mystery student idea is great!
Such a fun way for kids to focus on
their behavior.

You are clearly a teacher when you said "oh your hair hurts? Get a wet paper towel" man can I relate in my class lol. We have a frozen sponge as an icepack and it magically "cures" everything or sitting down for a rest lol Works almost every time. Mystery walker or mystery student is exactly what we need in my classroom right now.

When in doubt.... go get a wet paper towel!!! Lol

You are so clever! This is my 37th year and I can't wait to try your tricks!! :-)

@cynthiamoss7421 5 years ago

I love the mystery student!! Keeps them on their toes :) I think it's very responsive as well not to reveal the mystery student if they don't earn the reward.

My gosh.. after going from website to website, video to video… THIS is what I needed. I am a new teacher and was beginning to find the “tried and true” classroom management tips were not doing what I need them to. Thank you so much for these specific examples and unique ideas. I will be trying every single one.
