    The lesson

    Gaining the children‘s attention before starting a lesson is essential


    in order to create a positive learning environment. Below are some
    suggestions on how to gain children‘s attention.

    Tips: Ready to start the lesson

    When ready to start the lesson wait until you have the
    children‘s full attention. It is very important not to start to
    speak to the class if any of the children are still talking.
    Explain the task and check the children‘s understanding.
    If the lesson requires quiet partner talking, one way to ensure
    this is happening is to catch a child whispering as soon as the
    activity has been set. Stop the class and reward that child for
    whispering with a token reward. Whispering starts to become
    contagious and by rewarding certain children throughout the
    lesson, you‘ll find that the whole class is concentrating on the
    activity in a quiet and productive atmosphere.

    Tips: Gaining their attention

    The rhythm game


    Let the class know that when you want their attention you‘ll clap
    a rhythm and they must copy that beat. When you stop clapping
    you want their eyes on you and no talking.
    The children who complete the task are rewarded with the
    chosen token reward.
    Make it challenging for the children by clapping more
    complicated beats.
    When increasing difficulty levels remember to provide them
    with challenges that they are able to complete without feeling
    frustrated, otherwise this will have a detrimental effect on
    their behaviour.
