Hang the rules! A) On the first day of class, elicit the school rules from the Ss, write them on the board and check to make sure everyone understands them Be sure to also discuss any rules they may not be aware of or forgot to mention and add those to the board as well B) Divide Ss into pairs or groups and divide the rules on the board into sets by the number of pairs or groups you have Randomly assign sets of rules to each pair or group C) Distribute sheets of paper to the Ss, one sheet per rule Have the pairs or groups now draw pictures, which represent the rules you assigned to them, one rule per sheet Now might be a good time to have some markers or colored pencils handy! D) While the Ss are drawing, introduce them to the expression "hang the rules" and explain what this means Pick a rule on the board ask the Ss to tell you what might happen if they decided to "hang" it Do a few more rules with them or have them take over and continue the discussion among themselves while they draw E) When the Ss are finished, give them some tape and tell them that today is their one chance to "hang" the rules, in a manner of speaking! Have the pairs or groups randomly "hang" their drawings of the rules around the room F) As a rolling activity, encourage the Ss from now on to silently point at the appropriate picture on the wall whenever they catch another S "hanging" the rules No need to mention names or make a fuss, just point! This should be enough to help Ss keep each other in check if a majority of them are willing to participate (Don't forget to have the Ss put their drawings in their binders when it comes time to take them down They'll have to haggle with each other over who gets which pictures, of course) Want to see more?
