Some people raise their hand and say give me five and the kids then raise their hand. You can make up whatever beat you want, but I clap once, pause, clap again, pause, then clap three times fast. I work with Kindergarteners and I know that getting fourteen five and six year olds to drop what they’re doing and look at me is hard! The kids know that when I clap my hands, they stop talking/doing what they’re doing, repeat the clap and put their eyes one me. ![]() Anyone with kids will understand, and if they don’t, oh well.Ĥ-You should have a way to get the kids attention and eyes on you. As it was put in a summer camp training, you may have the right number, but not the right kids!ģ-For bathroom breaks, don’t be afraid to open the bathroom door, call out to see if anyone is in there, walk in do a quick once over, and then let a child go in.
