I have been a student teacher for close to year. At a school I have student taught at I would skip my classes (I am still in school) from 9 to 11 every Thursday morning. I would work with this one group of 7 year olds, and one day there was a boy (I don't name people) who got the hiccups and I asked him if he needed a drink of water or wanted to go to the nurse and he puked on me, but he had had the hiccups for close to two hours then so.... lesson learned.
ALWAYS SEND KIDS TO GET WATER OR TO THE NURSE IF THEY HAVE HICCUPS OR your close will be ruined. P.S. if you student teach CHANGE into a different set of clothes from when your teaching and etc. Also if young kids feel sick ,send them to the nurse 6 and 7 years olds don't lie about that

I will ask the student if they want to get a drink, if they do, I let them. Then I ask that they keep their mouth closed because hiccups are not nearly as loud when the individual has their mouth closed. Usually the hiccups either go away or at least the attention is gone from the student and directed back to the lesson.

I'm not a teacher, but the method I learned since I was like 3 to cure hiccups is to take a deep breath and to hold it for as long as I can (without getting lightheaded or dizzy or have spots appear in front of my eyes). If I hiccup during the breath I have to release my breath and take an even deeper one. I don't know if this would be the best thing to teach little kids to do--in case they hold their breath longer than they should, but this way always works for me.

Depends on if they are faking it or not. If it is fake, I would be annoyed and send them out for a drink of water. If they were not faking, I would not be annoyed and send them out for a drink of water.
If it happened multiple days in a row, I would assume it was a medical problem or a behavior problem and have the student call their guardian and explain the situation.. Let's just say if it wasn't medical it would stop after that!

I am not a teacher but I am a student. When someone in my class has really loud hiccups, my teacher lets them go get a drink.

Ask them to get a drink of water. Its okay, its not the end of the world. They can get as much water they need and its gone in a few seconds

Ask them if they want to go get a drink of water from the water fountain- its not like the student can help it. If you don't have enough Patience to deal with children, why did you become a teacher in the first place? Chill out!

Send them to the nurse to finish their hiccups. Send their work along too. Have them return the completed assignment to you right before the bell rings.

I'm a teacher assistant but when I'm talking I ask them to go take a drink outside.
