Strategies for a Focused Classroom: 

Picture
HOW TO FOCUS ELEMENTARY STUDENTS

"Novelty—such as the sound of a wind chime or rain stick—captures young students’ attention. Beth O., in Cornerstone for Teachers, tells her students, “Pop a marshmallow in.” Next she puffs up her cheeks, and the kids follow suit. It’s hard to speak with an imaginary marshmallow filling your mouth.
​
An equally imaginative approach involves filling an empty Windex bottle with lavender mineral oil and relabeling the bottle “Quiet Spray.” Or you can blow magic “hush-bubbles” for a similar impact."
-Edutopia
