Keeping kids walking in a straight and quiet line through the hallways is something I would always dread. It was a source of stress for me to have to manage a large class down the hallway and make sure that they weren't fooling around. Either that, or I would risk injury walking backwards to keep an eye on them.
So last year, I came up with these walking in line prompt cards.
I thought up of different and funny ways students could walk like, such as a soldier, robot, or ninja. I stuck them onto sticks - well in this picture - plastic knives because I didn't have sticks at the time - which didn't hold up for long - so use craft sticks people.. :) Anywayyy, I let them know of this fun plan right at the start of the school, but told them they will come out after a couple of weeks of practicing how to walk properly. Once I saw that they were really working on following directions in line, I told them we could once in a while bring out the can of prompts. So every once in a while, as a surprise, I would pick a random prompt from the can and we would walk that way down the hall!
Now for the treats!
I would love to share these walking prompts with you! Not sure why I hadn't uploaded them to TpT until now but you can grab the set of these walking in line prompts HERE.
