I think my students (who are younger) would enjoy it.

Thank you Linda!

I read Biffle’s method and honestly for that class, I need something more practical

I teach a concept and then use ‘clap, clap, teach’ too so they can repeat what they’ve learned again with their partner.

I know I didn’t teach the procedure completely right but I’m not sure what to do at this point!

It’s working great and the kids are having fun with it!! I also use “clap, clap, teach”. It’s great because it gives them leadership, a better understanding, and time to talk!

I tried it along with a modified list of rules for my 1st grade class, and it worked well. I have also used it with 3rd grade quite successfully. (My 5th and 6th graders don’t do as well with that, but they are responding to the names on the board/warning system.) I am planning to incorporate the strategy of students teaching each other soon!

I haven’t stopped using it since I discovered it last year! No more raising my voice or anything to get their attention – just a simple “class class” and like magic, those kids turn and look at you with their awesome “yes yes”!! It’s like pressing a button on them! hahaha

That yes, class-yes does get boring, and being an EFL teacher in Spain, one of their favorites is the holy moly-guacamole one and the noisier kids just love chicka chicka-boom boom!

I recommend this to all my fellow teachers when I hear them complain about the kids going crazy. Works every time!
