The Bell





You are a teacher, and you would like to talk to all of your students at once occasionally, right? The problem is it is difficult to do that when there are twenty wild things in your room! You need a signal. Someway to tell those wild things that it is time to FREEZE and be QUIET, so that you can impart your infinite wisdom.

One tool is bell: a cowbell, a tinkly bell, any bell will work.
Have the student practice freezing to the bell and time them to see how long it takes; challenge them to make it less and less each time.

The same system could be used with a whistle, a gong or turning off the lights/music.

Make sure you don't give up and try and yell into the jungle! WAIT.for quiet
