This was an idea I came across from Sue Cowley. When I got one student to stand in the corner on one leg, with his hands above his head for 30 seconds, it worked remarkably well. It worked as a sanction whilst also keeping the tone light and amusing. This particular student is particularly wily, and he gets away with it—his hairdo does incredible diplomatic work for him. I’ve often wished for a similarly benign head to show the world!
As long as the student accepts the sanction with good grace, it adds a nice touch of humour whilst also making your point.
