Question

How can i stop a kindergartner who blurts out constantly?

Answer 1

YELL AT IT!  IT IS FRICKEN ANNOYING!!!!! MY MOM IS A TEACHER I KNOW!!!!!! SHE HAS ME YELL AT THEM... IT WORKS

Answer 2

Put your finger up say ah ah ah and he will stop - tell him you need to see a quiet hand first.  It takes awhile - more than a week perhaps even longer but it works.

Answer 4

Every time he does it, just look at him and quietly raise your hand with a small smile.

At first, call on him immediately so he can share his idea.  As time goes on, the length can extend between the time he first raises his hand and the time you call on him.

Don't be annoyed with it.  It's a great thing.  It means you have found out how to teach him so he is excited about something.  That's wonderful.  Now you just have to help teach him how to incorporate the question/answer period more effectively.

I would also look at how much time you are doing in your group settings.  If it's too much time, you will have trouble keeping them calm, as they are craving that space of time to explore the environment.

Answer 5

tell this kid to stop or the kid will owe recess and if the kid doesn't stop call his parents

Answer 6

Answer 7

I tell children I only answer children with their hands up.I tell them If they feel like they want to shout something out, I tell them to put their hand over their mouth to keep the words in, while their hand is up. It works!

Answer 9

Be patient and consistent and each time it happens tell the kid that he cannot act that way.  It will take a little while, but he will catch on.

Answer 10

some of the others don't know what they are saying. when you call on some other kid just say "Thank you (name) for quietly raising your hand you may answer the question." the other kid will get the idea it'll take a while but the message will get through to him/her.

Answer 11

Have a reward system!

every time he blurts out sipmly say

please dont talk out like that.

be calm and polite

this way they will learn they will get more attention from positive behaviour.

hope this helps.

Answer 12

a cork or a sock in the mouth.... probaby better results with the sock if you fold it with another sock.

Answer 13

Review the rules.  Say that some kids are trying to listen to the story or concentrate on their work.  If he isn't getting it put him in time out.  Sometimes it's just training them when it's appropriate and when it's not.
