1) Killing the Competition
Killing the Competition is a technique to use before class starts. The goal is to eliminate anything around the classroom that will compete for the kids' attention. Do your kids like to stare out the windows? Find a creative way to block their view. Does the menagerie of mice and fish and snakes that you keep in the room distract them? Cover up the cages and aquariums during your lesson.
The less competition you have for the kids' attention, the more likely you will be to gain and hold their attention. ---Charles Bobbitt
that doesnt always work
