I gave my kids plenty of talking to do.

I used a magical device I call a class PLAY!

The kids HAD to audition (talking)
They have to practice (more talking)
and practice (even more talking)
louder
and louder. (I can't HEAR you!)

They have to practice their accents (more talking)
They have to go home and practice with their parents. (The parents get to hear them talking, really loud, with accents.)

When we finish working on that PLAY, they are so ready to NOT say anything (As Gomer says, "Surprise, surprise.")
Now, We are burning up the world in math!

Phew. I better get ready for school.
Now where did I put those ear plugs?
