1. Students may only use one fidget toy at a time.
2. If a student wants to switch, the toy must go back in the basket first.
3. Students may not pass fidget toys to one another.
4. If your eyes are on the fidget toy, then the toy is not working for you.
5. Fidget toys may not leave the students' hands. (no bouncing or throwing)
6. Fidget toys should not make extra noise. (This needs to be clarified for each toy.)

What a great set of rules! I especially love the one about "if your eyes are on the toy, the toy is not working for you." I think it's great you've allowed students the choice to bring their own fidget toys, but so smart to set it up with clear expectations. Are the toys helping your students to focus?
