I agree, my students have FINALLY learned that they don't
touch the equipment until I give the okay, which is after
directions are given.

If I need to instruct mid-lesson, my kids must be holding all
balls after I blow the whistle and may continue on my
direction. Otherwise, those kids don't listen and other kids
are distracted. I can teach through anything, but kids may not
be able to learn through it and that it my main concern.
