Conspicously Pasted Signs

Description
Conspicuously placed signs get attention and encourage participation.

Example

1. Post two large sheets of paper or a couple of sheets of newsprint (small print classifieds work best) with
2. the heading "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait" on opposite walls.
3. Use large tip markers but make sure the paper is thick enough so it does not bleed through. Alternatively use your classroom whiteboard.
4. As youth arrive, direct them to one of sheets of paper or the whiteboard and instruct them to list as many things as possible that may take a while to receive but are definitely worth the wait.

Note: pasting newsprint around the room, on the floor or on a table etc in unusual places with large printed questions is more likely to catch their attention when they enter your classroom because it is unusual.
