How can I get the students to listen to me while I am trying to give instructions? Is there any type of incentive to give the students if they listen?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 3, 2023 5:27 pm aSyLyt Reps: 201 Many students can be motivated by the idea of free time. Depending on how your class time is set up you could offer this. If they talk to much or cant pay attention then you can take it away.

This can range anywhere from telling them they’re doing good at listening to a reward such as a piece of candy.

It is always a good idea to reward good behavior.   Posted on: October 7, 2023 5:28 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 3 Posted October 3, 2023 4:18 pm aMadup Reps: 100 To ensure students listen during instruction, establish clear expectations from the start of the school year. When it's time to listen, use attention-grabbing strategies like a bell or a special signal. Provide positive reinforcement for paying attention during instruction, such as free time or a little incentive. Praise and acknowledge students who follow directions consistently to encourage other kids to do the same.

This could include things such as extended recess time, a special Friday treat, or an ice cream party. Tell your students that if they listen well, don't talk, and get their work done in the time given then they will receive an extra special reward. Using words like this are very good motivators for your students to listen because it attracts their attention to what you're saying.

Maybe have a reward system in place. For example, when the students listen and do their work quietly, they receive "classroom bucks". When they receive a certain number of bucks then they get to choose something out of a treasure box, candy jar, or an activity to do.

Docking points for participation or giving punishments like lunch detentions might light a fire under your students. Rewards like candy will only encourage the students to get quiet for the reward, not to pay attention to the class.
