Although the title sounds harsh or unkind, it really does put a smile on everyone's faces.  I run a community center where I provide a summer program and after-school program.  It's usually just me and the kids I have LOVE to talk.  When it's just me and roughly 20 kids, it because a little crazy.  I try to pear them up with each other to talk but it's like they can only tell me their news.  My volunteers literally get a ear full and get trapped many times. 

1. Keep saying I don't see you, I don't see you.

2. Yell, I don't hear you, I don't hear you!

3. Just plain ignore them, it works wonders.

4.  Pretend like you are playing Hide and Seek.  Hide your eyes and start counting, peek to watch them run, that's the fun part.

5.  Start signing in sign language

6.  As loud as you can, chew gum, smack and continue to blow bubbles.

7.  Act like you're on the phone.

8.  Start speaking in a different language or a made up language.

9.  Pretend like you are talking to yourself and it's a very important conversation.

 10.  My A all time favorite (I heard), Pretend like you are asleep everytime they start talking to you.  Even sleep walking works.

Have fun coming up with new ways.  I would love to hear if you have ever done this and if so, what worked.  I know, confession, confession!
