Practice a helpful move for trouble focusing.

Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Choose one distraction to reduce for a short work block. Say “I’ll silence alerts and open one tab.” Try it once with a partner. Switch roles and try it again.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
