I've never done this before, but here goes...
We use 1-2-3 Magic at our school. I don't live and die by it, but there are a few kiddo's that it works really well for. It involves saying "that's 1......that's 2......that's 3" and then they have a break away from their peers for a few minutes.
Around December, we were all coming down to the carpet for read aloud. One of my kiddo's, J, was not listening, as usual. In unison my class started with "that's 1......that's 2....." J just stopped and looked at everyone and came to sit down!
Kids, gotta love 'em!!
