Some tips to control student movement ......

• Manage your time well. Make sure each student is allowed to be in one station for a specific duration of time.
• Each student may begin from a different station.
• Limit the number of students to be in a station at a time to manage crowd.
• Instruct the students to move on to the next station individually and in orderly manner.
• If you have a large class, you can have more stations.
