Lucky man. You have them for only six weeks? Of course they are going to be bad, and excited to be out doing things in Australia!
Winning their respect would take longer than six weeks imo. You may have to do the choke hold! (
) Not!
Korean children in the classroom would definitely display different behaviours than outside the classroom. Most kids would. I think the only thing you can do is threaten to call their parents, or send them home. First though, you could threaten to take away their time to do the things that you have planned.
You could explain that the longer they misbehave, the less time they have for doing what they want. Unless you can't do that because of the program in the first place? If that's the case, then you can seperate the misbehaving ones and make sure they stick with you, so you can hold their hand so to speak. If that doesn't work just threaten to call their parents, and send them home.
The snake thing though is kids being kids. They are probably so excited and entranced at the snake in the first place. Just tell them that if they don't listen to you, and move away from the snake, then they may leave Australia with one hand, or one finger. Be very serious about it too.
