This is a great tool for teachers that are tired of telling their students to constantly lower their voices. Bouncy Balls is a classroom management tool that is used to measure sound levels within the classroom in a fun and engaging way. It can support students in building self-regulation skills and help them stay on task.
When students in your class are speaking too loud during group or independent work, the sensitivity meter will pick up the noise. As sounds increase, the plastic balls, emojis, bubbles or eyeballs shoot up from the bottom of the screen and bounce until noise levels decrease. In addition to the visuals, the site will make an alert (beep or shush) when the noise levels are too loud. The site provides you with an option to adjust the sensitivity and number of balls that appear on the screen.
Bouncy Balls is also known to be a great way for students to get their giggles out! If students are getting too loud during a work period, the teacher can instruct students to stand up, move and make noise to move the balls on the screen.
"This is a fun tool that offers a silly but possibly effective solution to managing noise levels"
