Competition works well for me, like ‘let’s see how quickly we can get into the a straight quiet line!’ ‘Let’s see if you all can be quiet the entire walk!’ Maybe giving them some type of reward as well like an extra minute of outside play time, drawing etc. Also pointing out the kids that are doing it right, you should always focus on the positives rather than the negatives and hearing peers get compliments typically makes the others shape up! ☺️

I work at a camp and I genuinely just yell at them. It has never failed, if they keep not listening, take away privileges. For us we take away swim time if they don’t listen or we make them sit with the adults at lunch. I’m telling you. Yell. At. Them.

i work mainly at a camp for kids who need some extra support and what i’ve found most useful is setting expectations early (- when i say ___ you say ___ and then our sounds are off ok 👍) if this doesn’t work or they aren’t listening try bringing in someone else, the “fun” counselor (- if you guys are good and can listen we can visit ____ for a little bit before __activity__) if this doesn’t work you can also make a quiet game. my kids LOVE dead fish. be patient and remember that it’s just kids

i love dead fish.. sometimes i play with them 😂 it’s a quiet activity where you have the kids all lay on the floor (personal bubble ofc) and they all pretend to be dead fish 😂. a lot of them use the time to meditate and lots of them fall asleep. if there’s kids who don’t usually nap you can set up a separate quiet activity like coloring. play some music and have at least 5-10 min of mandatory dead fish. it helps refresh them at least and reset

If they’re younger, I use bubbles as a quick gameish way of getting them quiet. So i’m like ‘OMG, let’s see who can catch a bubble the quickest!’ And then call out kids who have a bubble in their mouth. And then you could say something like ‘Oh I love that you all have your bubbles in, I wonder who can keep it in for the ENTIRE time we rotate!’ Also, it’s really important that you seem excited and really into the “games” because that’s what’s gonna wanna make them do it for you yk?

management has threatened us about yelling and taking punishments because “they should be having fun” but like we genuinely can’t do anything because it takes us 40 minutes just to line up!! it’s crazy like actually
