Spoiler Alert

One of my pet peeves is when kids yell out and ruin a good story. So I decided to make something visual to remind the kids not to ruin a story. I found mini milk jugs at the grocery store and bought five of them. One for each table. Then my family drank the milk. I experimented with different ways to make "fake" milk. I found that if you mix white school glue with water, it looks just like milk. So I put just a little "fake" milk in each jug and made a sign that I taped on the side that says "please don't spoil the story." Then I had a lesson where we talked about what it means to spoil a story. Now if someone spoils a story, they get one of the milk jugs put on their table. If your table has a milk jug, everyone on that table has to go last. If every table gets a milk jug then that class does not get to do the fun stuff that I plan for the end of their class time. We did this for practice this week and all I had to do was hold it up and shake it if someone forgot. I had very few interruptions.
