Even though we all prepare clear expectations and make simple rules that students understand, eventually those rules will be broken. Children learn about boundaries by testing them and when those boundaries are crossed we need to know some good ways to react. If possible, using logical consequences is a good way to discourage problematic behavior while teaching the reasons that such behaviors are unacceptable. Just remember the "Three R's":Related: Teaches cause and effect
Respectful: Is not too mean and does not embarrass the child
Reasonable: It is possible for both teacher and student to follow through with the consequence
If your consequence has all three of those, it's probably a logical one!
Here is more information about this if you would like to read about it!
