A quiet solution for students who tap their pencils!

Do you have students who tap their pens and pencils?

We all know one.

Whether it’s in the classroom or the office, there’s always (at least) one person who can’t sit still and, when forced to stay in one place, taps a pen on any available surface. For some people, listening to this day in and day out can be the equivalent of torture. But there’s an easy solution, and you’ll find it at your local dollar store!

Susie Hanes from Odessa High School was struggling with a chronic pen tapper when she came to my seminar. I work with a lot of teachers who have students with AD(H)D, and I always encourage them to allow students to funnel their energy in productive ways. Whether it’s coloring a mandala or providing quiet “fidget tools,” there are several outlets you can provide your students.

Simple, Effective Solution For the Problem of Student’s who Tap, Tap, Tap their Pens and Pencils

But what about that pen tapper? I suggested a simple solution – sponge curlers. Wrapping the sponge curler around the offending pen stops the noise.

Once her other students saw the sponge curler, they all wanted one, so Susie put a supply of them on her desk for students to pick up at the beginning of class and drop off as they left. As Susie says, “It sounds so small, but it made such a difference in my kid’s and in my environment. Made me happy, made other students happy, life was great. Simple but great.”
