Attention Grabbing Callbacks for the Classroom!
As a teacher, getting students to focus on the lesson can be challenging in today’s world of constant distractions. With smartphones and social media constantly vying for their attention, it takes creativity, determination, and patience to grab their undivided focus. But it can be done with the right approach and an optimistic outlook!
So what is a classroom callback? In a classroom setting, a callback refers to a technique used by teachers to regain the attention of their students. It involves establishing a specific phrase, signal, or action that prompts students to respond in a desired way, typically by focusing their attention back on the teacher or the lesson at hand.
A classroom callback aims to create a structured and interactive environment that encourages active participation and engagement from students. Teachers can effectively manage transitions between activities by employing a callback, redirecting off-task behavior, or initiating whole-class responses. This list of classroom callbacks is the perfect tool to add to your classroom teaching toolkit! Some callbacks included are
Hocus Pocus!… Students: Everybody focus!
Holy Moly!… Students: Guacamole!
Freeze! Everybody clap your hands!… Students: clap seven times
Are you ready kids?… Students: Aye, aye, captain!
Flat tire!… Students: Shhhhhhh!
Pop, pop, pop!… Students: It’s time to stop!
And more!
