Rhymes can be a fun and effective way to encourage preschoolers to listen to the teacher. Here are five rhymes that can help:

1. **"Eyes on the Teacher"**

"Eyes on the teacher, ears to the front,

Listen and learn, it's time to confront.

When the teacher speaks, we all must see,

Learning is fun when we all agree!"

2. **"Quiet Hands, Quiet Feet"**

"In our learning seat, with quiet hands and feet,

We'll listen to the teacher, it's really neat.

When our bodies are calm and our voices low,

We're ready to learn, so let's all go!"

3. **"Give Me Five"**

"Give me five, it's the way to thrive,

Five little fingers, all stacked up high.

Listen with your ears, and look with your eyes,

We're ready to learn and reach for the skies!"

4. **"When We're Silent"**

"When we're silent and still, we learn with skill,

The teacher's words are a special thrill.

So hush, little ones, and listen with care,

Knowledge is gained when we're all aware."

5. **"Teacher's Turn to Talk"**

"It's the teacher's turn to talk, so let's all hush,

We'll listen carefully, no need to rush.

When we pay attention to what she's saying,

Learning is easy, it's like we're playing!"

These rhymes not only create a fun and engaging atmosphere in the classroom but also remind preschoolers of the importance of listening to their teacher. They can be a helpful tool to establish classroom routines and expectations.
