31 Call Backs for Classroom Management: Call backs can be an essential tool in your classroom management toolbox. Also called attention getters, these engaging phrases will help you get your students' attention and focus. Print them out and keep at your finger tips for fun ways to get your class back on track! No more flashing the lights or endless clapping, these call backs are a quick and easy way to remind your students to turn their attention back to you. Start with a few favorites and when those get stale, teach a few more! With 31 attention getters to choose from, you'll never run out of novel call backs to redirect your class!

Introducing Call Backs in your classroom: When first introducing callbacks, it is best to model and practice as a class. Teach the children their part, and practice saying it a few times together. Ask your students to turn to their neighbor and start a conversation, wait a few seconds and then use the call back. the students will respond and then the class will be quiet.

Avoid introducing too many callbacks at once.

Students enjoy novelty, so there's no need to overload them by introducing too many callbacks at once. Instead, teach 2-3 callbacks at the beginning of the year and concentrate more on the routine of getting students to stop everything and quiet down whenever they hear a callback. As the year goes on, you can add more. The idea is to reengage students and reinforce the routine by choosing novel call backs once the old ones become stale and no longer work to grab students attention.

My students love these call backs! Each week or so they look forward to learning a new one, and using it 20 times a day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This resource is everything I didn’t know I needed! It’s thoughtfully designed, easy to use, and has truly brought joy and structure to my classroom. My students are more engaged, and I’ve saved so much time with prep and planning. You can tell it was made by a teacher who understands what works. Creative, helpful, and classroom-friendly—thank you for making my life easier!
