Mix it up

A few other great ways to teach your busy bodies:

1. Charades - ask them to act out their answers to your questions or act out what you are trying to teach them

2.  Singing - ask them to sing the spelling of their spelling words.  Making up songs with the words will also really help them remember.

3.  Dance/Sports Bargaining - if you do need them to sit and write, such as sentences for example, tell them to do 2-3, then they can get up and dance to the radio for 2-3 minutes or bounce a ball on the back porch for 2-3. Then they have to run back inside or back to their chair and do another 2-3 sentence and so on.  It will take less time overall, if you don't have to haggle with them or spend any time yelling and screaming to sit still.
