The no. 1 thing is: don’t get angry. I am a student and I know that most of these pupils will be doing this solely for this purpose. If they see that it has an effect on you, they will do it more and play for the attention of the class. I don’t know what they’re doing or how disruptive it is, but sometimes it is better not to make a big deal of it, but also not let them feel they are getting away with it. One thing which I have seen work quite well (though I don’t know whether it is right) is when the teacher used a kind of ‘humiliation’ method. By calmly asking them what they want to gain from it (maybe in a more witty way) you can avoid the class taking their side. The main thing is definitely not to show it affects you.
Also, if you’re young and maybe new to the school, students will probably do this to test how far they can go. It is best to start of really strict and slowy relax sothat the students will know their limits. Good luck.

Sounds like it’s time to make an example of one or more of them. Unfortunately, you will have to think up some sort of discipline for these girls thereby showing the rest of the class that disruptions will not be tolerated.
