WATCHING OUT FOR THE LOUD ONES
While the task is on and they are busy exchanging and writing ideas – You get on with your own very first task
• Watch out for the really loud ones• Animate yourself and buzz around it
is a polite and firm way of saying now ‘I am in charge and I am the boss’
• Secondly you are sending out a clear message that you fancy having rules that must be followed by those involved in setting them.

Once they have exhausted all answers then ask them to make a list of rules
for conducive, friendly and successful learning environment

Also expect some silly answers – tactically ignore them
