Clap out a pattern and children clap it out too.

Continue until you think you have all

attention.

Explain them that every time you raise your hand they should be quiet. When you feel they are noisy or you need to get their attention, raise your hand.

The teacher says one sentence with a specific intonation and the students have to repeat it. We can also do some gestures while we say the sentence and the students imitate it.

Every time I want them to pay me attention I say 'Simon says that if you are listening to me you have to touch you head' for example, or another part of the face.

When I want to reclaim my students attention I say : PLEASE: !1,2 3...!! and they answer: LISTEN TO ME. They finish my sentence and it's the slogan that I use to reclaim their attention.

In first grade I use this game to catch their attention.
For instance I say:
"SIMON SAYS.... TOUCH YOUR MOUTH/SAY HELLO/ RAISE YOU LEFT FOOT"
After this short game, all of them are listening to me.

As it was repeated I explain another useful activity:

I say very loud: HEY, HO!!
Students answer: LET'S GO

Immediately, there's silence in the class and students are paying attention.

I use this cue with first and second graders. When i want to catch their attention I say: 1,2,3,4 and 5 ... and then they have to answer GIVE ME 5 and show their hand.
When they answer, all the class is in silence and paying attention.

When the class gets a little bit messy, I use to ask the students "Laura, are you here?", for example. Then, as I continue asking they make their partners to be quiet in order to hear the name that I am saying.

When I need everyone's attention I just say "hands on top..." kids continue "... make me stop".

Automatically children stop doing whatever they're doing at look at me.

When I need a calm and attention, I use to sing a song that I invent and that children sing with me. It becames like a little "mantra" to achieve the silence and the concentration. It says "for learning in peace we need, some silence, some order , some open ears" (while doing mymics).

I use a wide variety of attention getters, this one is an example:
When I need everyone's attention, I say 'Mac and Cheese!' and my pupils answer: 'Everybody freeze!'

Before starting the lesson I prepare the song Scooby Dooby Doo...Where are you?  A part of this, I use to say "Waterfall, waterfall...shhhhhh- shhhh" . I can start the sentence and they can finish it, normally I repeat it three times.

When I need to catch the attention of my students I say: "who is listening me, please raise the right hand" or "who is listening me, please touch your nose".
I introduce the phrase in the explanation as if I was not saying anything to them. It is very funny to see how some do it and others follow them.
Once I got their attention, I smiled to them and we continue with what we were doing.

I use many attention getters, because some or them are really effective with one especific age but maybe not with other ages, and it also depends on many things. I really love all your ideas, they are amazing, and I use some of them.

One of my favourites:
- "One, two, three look at me,
One, two, three, silence please" In the first part, I point my eyes. In the second part, I point my mouth. When they are listening to "one...two..." they help me to finish the sentence.
