Did you know that by having fun in the classroom, you create a nice environment??
Of course it is a fact!!
It is difficult to create this kind of environment in the classroom, but it is possible if you are willing to change those boring classes in which students are not interested in.Most of the cases, children are the ones that have lot of fun in the classroom; but, it does not mean that teens and adult learners can´t have it
. Of course they can!!! But we have to be careful with the kind of activities we will use to have fun with these students because they can get embarrassed if you aks them to do something they think is for children.In this way, students will walk into a classroom with a possitive learning attitude that will motivate them to continue, and to be concentrated in the lessons. The nice point is that they will not be saying excuses when you ask them to work!
Remember that in the classroom you have different intelligences, and a sense of humos can help you a lot to give each student the opportunity to use their learning skills according to the learning style they have.
This was my point of view, Now tell me how important is for you as a teacher to have fun in the classroom?...
It's very important to create a positive envirnment by preparing interesting and fun activities even for adults, as you say. When the students are bored, they start doing different things that have nothing to do with the class. Here's the link of a site where you can find interesting activities, I hope you like it.

It's believed that students learn better when they are having fun because they are enjoying what they are doing. Also this helps to make them feel motivated and comfortable in class so that the learning process is more meaningful for the students.

Using games in the classroom can increase participation and allow children to experiment. Role play, for example, can be used across the curriculum to promote thinking, discussion and writing.
ReplyDeleteIt´s so important to know some techniques in order to get students´ attention,and another one I think it can be useful is music, children love to sing or to dance and they can learn at the same time. :-)
