II have a needy and chatty class. I did’nt establish a good dismissal routine and it is a disaster every day. They need to be quiet to hear their names called. What can I do to walk back my mistake? I’m in need of suggestions for structures with timing. 🙂 Thank you! I should clarify that I have kids in my room for 20 minutes from 3-3:20. They slowly trickle out until bus riders are left. And did I mention they are beyond chatty and their volume escalates so quickly? 🤪

A few suggestions, maybe rotate them through the days of the week?
- play 7-up with them. Most live it and it's very quiet.
- quiet ball (it may have another nane) uses a soft ball- kids toss it around the room. If you drop it, you're out. If you make a sound, you're out. Until close to the end, if you throw it back to the same person who threw it to you, you're out. You can also be out for a poor throw (if the catcher really had no chance). Can be played in teams.
- Simon says can be a quiet game, especially if the rules state that making a sound gets you out.

You can see where I'm going. It's the end of the day. Games can serve a purpose. And movement can help with all that pent up energy that is fueling the chatter. I bet there are LOTS of no-talking games out there on the web.

There’s no worst feeling that to be rejected by someone you love. I gave my heart and time to someone I thought felt the same towards me for more than a year. They decided to end the relationship cause they didn’t feel the same, and even though I appreciate the honesty, it hurts a lot!
