Also real quick, if you are new here, say hi in th comments below and let me know where in the world you're teaching.
Most especially when we're teaching young learners
it can be really tricky to keep their attention
by tricky, I mean impossible.
So we need a fun way to capture student's attention
and bring their focus back onto our English class.
So today I want to share ten fun attention grabbers
to help you grab your students attention in your class.
Attention grabbers are a. fantastic tool to help vring students attention back onto class
However, they only work if you ise them in the right way.
Now one mistake that many teachers do make
is that they introduce the attention grabber at the beginning of class
but when it comes to using it during class when you've lost students attention
students don't respond.
And this is because students ears are not trained to respond to these new words that you've just taught them.
So antoher way to introduce attention grabbers is to practice them when you do have students attention.
This way students get used to responding to those phrases
so that when you don't have students attention and you use that phrase
they're able to respond appropriately.
But enough said, without further ado, let's look at ten, easy to implement, attention grabbers.
Alligator chomp...
Chomp, chomp
Hocus pocus
Everybody focus
To infinity...
and beyond!
1, 2, 3, eyes on me...
... 1, 2, eyes on you.
Peanut, peanut butter...
...and jelly!
Zip, zip, zap
... hands on your lap!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 O'Clock...
... STOP!
nana, nana, nana, nana...
BATMAN!
Scooby, scooby doo...
...where are you?
So those are ten of my favorite attention grabbers
but let me know what you use in your classroom in the comments below.
So there you have it, ten fun attention grabbers that you can try in your class tomorrow.
