Name of Activity:
Silent Hands
Purpose of Activity:
To quiet students upon entering and exiting the activity area or classroom.Suggested Grade Level:
K-2Description of Idea
Upon entering the activity area/gynasium, the students quietly go
to their assigned "seat". The
teacher sits in front of the children, and without
talking, begins making hand guestures. The kids will do as
the teacher does without any noise. This is a great
way to begin and end class.
Hand guestures used include the following:
It is great to do these in slow motion as it makes them very attentive. I also use sign language to spell out
the muscle of the week. Some of the older kids already know some of the
signs, so upon completion, I will sign the letter and ask who knows
what letter that represents in sign language.
