My great resource

This great resource is a class management strategy. Its main goal is to control students’ behaviour, basically when they are very chatty. It is very useful when you have talkative students in class, when the noise gets louder and louder until it feels like chaos. To fix this, the teacher can make use of the blurt beans.

Objective

You can do this in many different ways but the goal is to fill up the jar to earn prizes along the way. Write class rewards on coloured tape to put on the jar. The prizes get better as they fill up the jar. When the jar gets to that line, they get that prize.

 

Every day, each kid gets 3 blurt beans to start the day, and they are the only responsible for keeping track of them. If they blurt out or talk while you, the teacher, are talking, you take away a bean from them. At the end of the day, all the kids drop their beans into the class rewards jar which is exciting to see it fill up more and more toward the lines.

Process

The only materials you need are two jars, pinto beans and coloured tape.

 

You can invent the prizes you want your students to get.
