  5. Making and Handling Motions According to Robert’s Rules When that light bulb goes off in your head and you have a great idea, you make a motion according to Robert’s Rules to get your idea discussed and a decision made. Following are the eight steps required from start to finish to make a motion and get the group to decide whether it agrees. Each step is a required part of the process. • 1. What to Say The member rises and addresses the chair. “Madam Chairman. . . .” • 2. The chair recognizes the member. “The chair recognizes Ms.____________” • 3. The member makes a motion. “I move to approve Little Steps to travel to the park for a field trip” • 4. Another member seconds the motion. “Second.” • 5. The chair states the motion. “It is moved and seconded to approve Little Steps to travel to the park for a field trip. Are you ready for the question?” • 6. The members debate the motion. “The chair recognizes Ms. __________ to speak to her motion. . . .” • 7. The chair puts the question and the members vote. “All those in favor of adopting the motion to approve Little Steps to travel to the park for a field trip will say ‘aye,’ [pause] those opposed will say ‘no’.” • 8. The chair announces the result of the vote. “The ayes have it and the motion carries, and it has been approved for Little Steps to travel to the park for a field trip .”
