Class?, Yes!

 

This is a wonderful call & response management technique that I like to use to grab the students' attention quickly.

 

Teachers says "Class"

Students respond "Yes"  while making eye contact and listening for directions.

 

The key is they say "Yes!" in the exact same voice/style that I said "Class?".  So if I say "Classity, Class", the students answer "Yessity, Yes!" in the same tone, rhythm and intensity.  This is what gets the attention with smiles and grins, instead of irritation and continued conversations.

This can include, but is not limited to:

• whisper

• silly accent

• singing voice

• "Classity Class- Yessity Yes"

• "Classadoodle Doo- Yesadoodle Doo"

• "Ohhh Class? Ohh Yes!"

• and TONS more, just be creative.
