Voice Levels

Create your own Voice Level Chart

Now I know what you're all thinking. The answer is yes!! These buttons do actually light up! This awesome light up display features different noise/voice levels for students to use during different times of the day. Are your students taking a silent exam? Go ahead and push the "No Voice" button. Are your students doing presentations? Press "Speak Up" to let students know it is okay to use a loud speaking voice so peers can hear them. This is such a great classroom management tool. We all know that students can have a hard time being quiet when we ask them to. As a teacher, it can be a struggle getting your students to stop chatting during a lesson. With this tool students will know exactly what level their voices should be at at all times. The best part is that all you have to do is push a button! If your class is having a hard time even after introducing this display, then you can create consequences for students who do not follow the desired voice levels. You could even have whole group consequences if it is more than one student not following directions. This could be anything from 5 minutes taken away from recess to a note home to a parent. Chances are students will start to follow the voice levels if they are given consequences for not following it properly. What I love about this display is that you can stick these buttons right on your whiteboard. You can also customize your voice levels to how you would like. You could even use numbers instead of words. These light up buttons can be purchased on Amazon for just $3 a piece! They run on batteries. Command strips can be used to stick them not the walls or whiteboard. If you don't want to spend any money, you could also just create a poster and hang it up in your classroom like the example below.
