Asking for ideas
Do you have any ideas on how to (practice this language point/ stop the kids misbehaving)?

That might be dangerous/ I'm worried about the students hurting themselves/ getting overexcited/ disturbing the other classes

Feedback on the class

What would you like to do next time? / Maybe next time we can...
I thought that was quite/ very...
