Bouncy Balls is a simple, free noise meter that can be used in the classroom.
As sounds increase, plastic balls, emoji, bubbles, or eyeballs shoot up from the bottom of
the screen and move erratically until levels decrease. Use Bouncy Balls during group work
when high noise levels can distract students. Or try using the tool to keep classrooms quiet
during independent work or an exam.
You'll need to adjust the sensitivity meter to fit your
classroom environment. Keep in mind that students might actually want to cause noise in order
to see the chaos ensue on the screen. In this case, you might want to let students get their
giggles out at the beginning then challenge them to get as quiet as possible. This might not
satiate sillier more active classrooms, but for others this could be a good tool to set a noise
baseline and encourage self-regulation and staying on task.
