  Case: Transitioning for recess
When transitioning going back inside from recess, kids are lingering not really listening when I tell them to clean up. From this, we keep getting back to class a minute or two late from the students picking up the things. What can I do to minimize this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would recommend a countdown so that students know when they need to be finished by, maybe 30 seconds. If they are not finished in time, then there should be a consequence so that they understand the importance of following directions during recess.

Comments: While this is a good option, in theory, 30 seconds is not enough time and could cause negative behavior when the timer is started and ensuing panic.

Comments: A 30 second countdown is not often enough, especially for children who are slower at processing information. For them to receive 30 seconds of clean up time and a consequence if it doesn't happen is drastic and not very kind.
