Show the rules, then practice them
Don't just read the rules. Act them out! Show what a quiet hallway looks like, then let kids practice it. Have a few volunteers model the wrong way for giggles, then the right way. Kids remember what they do.
Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).
