Voice Level Slides Classroom Voice Levels Listening Skills Talking Expectations

Are you tired of repeating “use a quiet voice” all day? These editable voice level slides help you teach students what each classroom voice level actually means, when to use it, and what it should sound like.

Instead of just posting voice levels on the wall and hoping students remember them, you can use these slides to teach, model, and practice classroom voice expectations step by step.

This resource is perfect for back to school, classroom management lessons, morning meeting, behavior mini lessons, centers expectations, partner work, classroom resets, or any time your class needs help with talking, listening, interrupting, or using the right voice level.

Students will practice what it looks and sounds like to use a level 0 voice, whisper voice, table talk voice, class voice, outside voice, and emergency voice.

They will also learn simple listening and communication skills like eyes watching, ears listening, body still, mouth quiet, brain thinking, talking at the right time, staying on topic, stopping when the signal is given, waiting, and not interrupting.

These slides are simple enough for K–2 students, but still clear enough to help you have real classroom conversations about noise, talking, listening, and respectful communication.
