I have even adapted it to help with students who have a hard time blurting out.

In a room with little to no carpet it can get pretty loud when we have lots of kids doing different activities. The tiles have made a big impact on the noise volume. They are also beautiful to look at and help while we are doing our calm breathing exercises. \r\n\r\nSpeaking of exercise... Our new dice have been a big hit.
