CALLING OUT IN CLASS – RESPONSE #1 
What do you do with a pupil who calls out answers or comments during class? 

With children in the middle grades and older, divide the class into two 
groups and make a game out of questions and answers. Each team scores 
a point for each correct answer. If a team member calls out an answer out 
of turn, that team loses a set amount of points.

Praise the pupil who does not call out, but waits to be called on. 

Ignore the calling out. Do not acknowledge having heard it.

Examine the reason for the calling out. Is it for attention? Do you tend to 
overlook calling on this pupil? Is the calling out a result of an inability to 
sit still? Does this child have a learning disability? React to these 
symptoms appropriately. 
CALLING OUT IN CLASS – RESPONSE #2 
What can you do about children constantly calling out in class, even when they 
are supposed to be working quietly at their seats? 

Be sure that the pupils know what you expect of them concerning this 
problem. Describe what procedure you want them to use to get your 
attention, and explain why they should not call out in class. 

Be consistent and persistent in disciplining the children who call out. 

If a child communicates with you by calling out, make your only reaction 
one of displeasure and do not answer the question or fulfill the request.
CLASS CLOWN 
How can you deal effectively with a “class clown”? 

Let the pupil know in private how you feel about his/her unacceptable 
behavior, and explain what is expected of him/her. Try to form a trusting 
relationship with this pupil. Listen to his/her feelings and expectations. 

Explain to the pupil that the solution to his/her problem is his/her 
responsibility as well as your. However if the “class clown” behavior 
continues and it affects the level of learning for the rest of the class, then 
the responsibility for the solution will lie with him/her and the 
administration. 

As for the assistance of a counselor to investigate various possible 
reasons for the child’s need to be the “class clown.”
