A Simple Behavior Strategy for Blurting Out

Ever feel like your classroom is a lively zoo where the Blurting Beast is the star attraction? 🦁 Fear not! I’ve got a game-changing behavior strategy up my sleeve that’s as simple as it is effective to decrease blurting out.

Introducing… drumroll, please… the Red-Green Card Magic! 🚦🌈

What's the deal?

Picture this: a nifty card, red on one side, green on the other. It’s your ticket to creating a harmonious classroom vibe. When that card’s on the green side, it’s all systems go for chatter. Flip it to red, and we’re in stealth mode – quiet voices only.  Watch your student’s blurting out behavior fade into the wind.

Why the Red-Green card?

Well, my friends, it’s all about balance. We want that card flashing green like a neon sign at a dance party. When it’s green, that’s our cue to sprinkle positive attention on our student. A little chat here, a thumbs-up there – it’s a green-light extravaganza!

Turning Red into a superpower

But what about the red side, you ask? That’s our secret weapon. Flipping to red isn’t a punishment; it’s a chance for a superhero transformation. We’re teaching our kiddos the awesome power of a quiet voice. Shhh… it’s our little secret to becoming Classroom Avengers!

Top tips for maximum Green time

  1. Catch Them Being Good: Reinforce those green moments with positive vibes- and make sure there are plenty of them!
  2. Model and Praise: Show them the quiet voice magic and heap on the praise.
  3. Keep it Visual: Keep  the visual easily accessible around the room.  Maybe even put it on a keyring?

In a nutshell

The Red-Green Card strategy is the superhero cape your classroom deserves. It’s simple, visual, and – dare I say it – kinda fun! Ready to transform your room into a hub of respectful chatter?  Give it a try, and watch the magic unfold.  Watch blurting out behavior disappear.
