do the "TAP"
By rswash

Clip to ScrapBook   
I use this method and it works great for me. I choose two boys and two girls to use the restroom, when they come back, each one taps another. (girls tap girls and boys tap boys) They are allowed to whisper to a neighbor to
get any missed work gone over while they were out, it keeps you from holding up class time, and only 4 students are out of the room at any one time. This can also be done with only one boy and girl at a time. We call it the "TAP" and after lunch, instead of the usual stampede at the restrooms, I continue with the lessons and they immediately start the "TAP". All I do is choose a different
set of kids to start it daily. One more good thing about it, if the restroom is messy, you can usually trace it back to who was in it by asking a few questions about the appearance of it, (was there water on the floor when you went Sam? etc...)
