Last night I tried a tip that I found here....http://www.4kicks.com/?tabid=28&view...rills&CatId=22

The goal is to get the kids to stand at attention, with their eyes to the front without moving or talking..... even when there are distractions.

I told them that we would be playing the "Joonbi Game", and that the winner would choose their favourite kick to do on the bag.

When I called Joonbi, they would stand at attention, and I would then call out the names of the kids that were moving or talking, and they would sit down. The last one standing wins.

The first time through, there was an easy winner. So we played again.

The second time through, they really wanted to win, so they were all standing to attention and really trying to win. So I had to start trying to distract them. Calling their names, pulling faces etc...

All in all, a great tip.

The kids loved it, and I loved the results.
