    I always try to give the direction several times before they start, in a
    demo and then again right as they get their paper. After that, I don't
    tell them again. I say "find someone who was listening" or "ask your
    table-mates." It has greatly cut down on my frustration level.
    Occasionally, I find myself actually answering them and after a few
    repeats, I get really flustered. So they are used to asking someone
    else, and the kids who do listen carefully also get tired of having to
    repeat, repeat, repeat. Oh, I teach K-6, so if you start them young,
    maybe they will grow to be more careful listeners.
