1. Establish Clear Rules at the Beginning of the Year
There are 2 kind of rules that I will stated in this article.
The rules are class rules and schools’ rules. Firstly, the class rules means that the teacher and students make
the rules together in order that a classroom becomes conducive during learning
and teaching process. Secondly,
school rules are regarding to schools’ policies. Your supervisor should be able
to tell you if a set of rules exist. They may also be a list of rules as in the
teachers’ handbooks because one set of rules may have updated. Whenever
possible, the rules should be consistent among different teachers. The
consequences for breaking the rules should be consistent among the member of
students.
Children appreciate knowing what our expectations are. It is
important to have rules that are stated in positive terms and establish what
the children are expected to be clearly. At the beginning of the school year, and
whenever you feel the students need to review the rules, demonstrate or point
out expected behavior. You can also see 7 activities for welcoming students back to school.
It is also important to communicate the rules to learners a swell as their parents. The list of rules can be sent home to students in their native language. However, you shouldn’t assume that the parents have taken time to go over the rules with their children. Therefore, you should also read and explain the rules to your students. I personally like demonstrate in English with hand-drawn pictures to illustrate them.
2. Teach the Concept of Appropriate and Inappropriate Behavior
The terms good behavior and bad behavior are relative and can be problematic. When you tell children that they often internalize it that they are bad children and not that their behavior at the moment could be interpreted as bad. As a teacher of young learners, you need to monitor yourself to make sure you comment on appropriates of your learners’ behavior and not on the children themselves. For your learners, it’s important that you spend time discussing the concept of appropriate and inappropriate behavior. For example, you may to teach children that is inappropriate to shout and run in the classroom, whereas it can be very appropriate to shout and with their friends outside on the playground.
3. Offer Reward Judiciously
Often teachers will give children rewards for good work. Unwittingly, by misusing rewards, teachers can contribute to an atmosphere of competition that is unhealthy. It is important to instill in your learners some sense of pride in their own accomplishments rather than a reliance on external gratification. Having said this, there are times when rewards are in order. If a child has gone from consistently not finishing her work during the allotted time to finishing it on time, then you might want to let her select a special sticker to attach to her paper. Personally I am concerned about the use of candy as a regular reward
4. Plan More Than You Think You Will Need
Always be sure to have enough activities to keep children engaged, paying attention, or on task. Nothing leads to chaos more quickly than children who don’t have anything to do. You may want to prepare a set of back up activities that you or substitute teacher can use at a moments’ notice. It is easier to not get to all your planned activities than to come up with an engaging task while a class full of fidgeting students is eagerly looking at you and you and asking “what’s next
You can also find the article about differentiated instructions for young learners (6-12 years old)
5. Balance Activities
Most children do not have very long attention spans. Also not every child is going to enjoy or learn the same type of activities. In order to keep children engaged, you will want to include a balanced I mean that you want some noisy activities and some quiet ones, some large-group activities mixed with some group or individual activities.
These are 5 things that teachers should be aware how to
manage classroom for young learners

These strategies focuses on enriching young learners vocabulary. Young leaners will imitate the word which they listen and repeat the word. This activity is aimed to help students memorize the vocabularies easily.
The teachers will give instruction to students. The instruction contains of a few sentence and ask young learners to do what the teacher say.
The teachers will ask a question and the students answer the question. Young learners can write in a book and whiteboard, and directly answer the questions.
The teacher asks young learners to make groups in pair. Afterwards, the teacher gives several tasks related to pair activity.
This strategy is group strategy. Young learners will try learn a new vocabulary in a group. They will try to learn it in a community and When you learn something together, you'll likely spend more time with each other, understand different perspectives and accommodate different work styles. It's an effective strategy for team building and collaboration
Every young leaner like studying through games. They will enjoy, relax classroom, and play while studying.
According to lestari, Asrori, and Sulistyawati (unkown year), They stated some strategies to teach English to young learners.
Based on my teaching experiences, I have some strategies to build young learners understanding the material taught.
Who doesn't like having long holiday? Both teachers and students like this time, so do I. When I have holiday, I just want to stay for long time. I also believe that my students enjoy having their holiday and based on my experience, I still find some of them add some days for their holiday. Therefore, as a teacher what we have to welcome back to our students to school in order that they will be ready to study in the classroom. Here I list some activities for welcoming students back to school;
This is my routine every new academic year. I start to make welcoming door. I'll make it before my students back to school. We have to try to create atmosphere that the students will get excited to back to school and enjoy it in their a new class.
The activities we design for one or two days. We can do Gym, play traditional games, make up, karaoke, or other fun activities. The activities are not only for your class but also for whole school member. below is the example
In another day, After doing outdoor activities, we discuss class rules with our students. The students will understand what is appropriate and what is not and what should they do or don't. Class rules help the teacher to maintain class routines and student expectations for classwork and behaviors. Clear classroom rules create a framework that provides choices to students and helps teach them to self-manage their classroom behaviors. Moreover, we can also discuss about the consequences if they break the rules.
This activities help us to know them. We ask the students to write who they are. They will write everything about themselves. You can find the example below
After we know our students and they introduce themselves in front class, the students will make birthday chart. Birthday chart displays chart bulletin board including everything you need to recognize and celebrate birthdays with your students. Why do we make the birthday chart? because It builds a sense of community, appreciate students' specialness, and gives them one day in which they can feel prized.
Class duty in the class make them responsible about what they do. By teaching your students to be responsible in the classroom, we’re also teaching them to be responsible at home and in their communities. This is a life skill that they will need to practice throughout their lives. The class duties include class captain, teacher assistant, whiteboard monitor, table and chair monitor, and clean up the classroom. You can also vary your class duty depending on your classroom condition.
I called it " a wish tree" . We make tree poster and give a leave to each student and ask the student to write their goal or what they wish during this academic year. Put the leaves on a tree that we have already made it before.
