Step 1: Make the notes as small as possible.
Smaller notes are easier to hide.

Step 2: Write the message on a spare scrap of paper
If the teacher looks at you, don't immediately scramble to hide the note; that'll look too suspicious.
Just casually cover it with a textbook or a pencil case.
Whatever you do, don't write any names on the note because if the teacher finds it, they'll know who wrote it and attempted to pass it. , If you have normal paper, as in notebook paper, fold it in half four times, be quiet though! If you have a note card or the 3x5 pieces of paper, fold it once. , If somebody you want to pass to is behind you, don't turn around and put it on their desk.
Instead, hold the note, put your hand behind your back, and raise it up to your neck.
Then drop it on their desk.
Make sure they notice it. , Don't do the 'I'll-just-drop-it-on-the-floor-maneuver.' Put the note in a book, somewhere they can find it (in the front cover, etc).

This leaves an empty pen shaft, perfect for notes.
Place your note inside the pen shaft, then tap your foot or start the signal.

The person you are passing the note to can be returned either when the teacher is not looking or when class is over. , Pretend to go to the bathroom.
