Calming Countdown
Submitted by Kelsi, Texas
Idea posted 2008-10-27
To quiet students, I took the good ol' "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" approach and added a calming aspect to it. I tell the students:
- 5 means stop, look, and listen
- 4 means take in a big breath
- 3 means hold it
- 2 means let it out
- 1 means stop, look, and listen
They seem to like the break and it gives them something to do while getting quiet.
