Phone Down. Game On.™ Cell Phone Management Playbook Grades 7-12 Editable
Stop arguing about phones. Start teaching a procedure.
Phone Down. Game On.™ is a complete, ready-to-use cell phone management system for Grades 7–12 — built for teachers who are done confiscating, negotiating, and losing instructional time to the same fight every period.
This is not an anti-cell-phone manual. It's a classroom procedure — taught, practiced, and reinforced like any other routine — so your students always know where their phone is, when they'll get it back, and what happens if the procedure isn't followed. No guessing. No power struggles. No reinventing your response every time it comes up.
