The Good Behaviour Game: A Classroom Behaviour Management
Strategy
Presented by Chrissie Spring
Headteacher Oxfordshire Behaviour Support Service with
Oxford Brookes University and Oxfordshire County Council
Goals of the Good Behaviour Game
To socialise children into the role of being a pupil and to reduce disruptive and aggressive behaviours in the classroom
“The Headteacher suspended me – School is the only place in the world where you can get time off for bad behaviour.”

GBG was originally developed by Barrish, Saunders, & Wolfe at the University of Kansas with the first report in 1969

On pupils: Aggressive, disruptive behaviour as early as Year 2 is a major
risk factor for academic failure, later school drop-out, delinquency, drug abuse, depression, and other problem outcomes.
Children with behaviour problems in poorly managed Year 2 classrooms were up to 20 times more likely to exhibit severe aggressive problems in late primary / early secondary years compared to similar children in well managed Year 2 classrooms.
How does this impacts on teachers? The number one reason for teacher burn-out is the inability to
manage the classroom.

Changes in teacher practices
Differentiation of tasks for pupils
Awareness of pupil needs and growth in terms of behaviour and learning
Additional Benefits of the GBG

Year 2 classrooms particularly important to later academic, mental, and behavioural health.
A relatively simple method of classroom behaviour management that can have a dramatic long-term impact if done with fidelity.
Without a system to mentor, model, and monitor teacher practices over time, GBG practices are not sustained. A good knowledge of pedagogical practice as well as how to teach behaviour for learning is essential without this, mentoring will not be as effective.

1 - WHISPER VOICE (Speak in a whisper voice to your neighbour)
2 – INSIDE VOICE (Speak in a quiet voice to people who are close to you)
3 – OUTSIDE VOICE (A voice you would only use outside)
Voice Levels: Displayed on a poster and referred to by the teacher in and out of the Game

A baseline for each pupil is done using an assessment.
Classes are divided into heterogeneous teams (4- 7, depending on class size), balanced for learning, behaviour, and gender.

Team Aardvark gets a MARK because Tyrone broke Rule # 1 We will work quietly.
I like the way some / the rest of Team Aardvark and everyone else in the class are working quietly.

The GBG is played for brief intervals at first (10 minutes, three times a week)
The duration and frequency are gradually lengthened as children gain practice in controlling their behaviours.
Rewards become more intangible as the year progresses.

Starting the Game Announcing that the GBG is about to start
Introducing Tasks Reviewing directions for independent work
Reinforcing Class Rules Reviewing the four class rules
Playing the Game Setting the timer; monitoring behaviour; following the check, comment, praise procedure
Ending the Game Stopping the GBG when the timer rings; announcing its end
Announcing Winning Teams
Identifying/announcing teams earning 4 or fewer marks
Providing Rewards Distributing tangible rewards or privilege/activity reward tokens
Recording Game Results Recording points earned by teams on the weekly scoreboard onto the GBG Score Record and stamping pupil booklets

At the end of the Game, teams with four or fewer marks earn rewards.
Each team that wins at least one game during the week also earns a weekly reward.

Record Keeping and the mysterious ‘PROBE’
A probe is a way to see if your pupils’ behaviour has improved outside of the game
2-3 times a week for 10-15 minutes Children must be in their GBG teams BUT are
not playing the game – the rules can still apply It is a chance for teachers to see how and if
behaviour has generalised – problem solve as needed

GBG Into the day to day practice
Referencing rules at every opportunity
Let the children know what the voice level is that they are required to work with.
Modelling expectations with pupils
Consistent routines
Praising pupils consistently for following rules
Making expectations clear
Least to most intrusive interventions.
Monitoring consistently throughout the day
