About a week ago I read an article that holding ones breath for as long as possible has a calming effect. So I decided to put it to the test with some of my younger students.

Over the last week, whenever they're a little too rowdy, I tell them we're going to have a contest to see who can hold their breath the longest. The winner gets 500won. And, it actually works out quite nicely after they get over laughing and yelling at other students who are cheating.

Best part? I can hold my breath the longest, so no one gets paid and, after a 2minute break, the class is much more managable.

Downside might be if someone dies... but *beep* it.
