3 Other ways to keep children interested in class

Class doesn't have to be a boring experience for students. There are many ways to liven up lessons other than telling corny math jokes.

Here are three teaching strategies you can try to make class fun!

1. Game-based learning

It's no secret that a lot of kids love video games. Use game-based learning in the classroom to liven up lessons and helps classroom learning align with different children's learning needs.

2. Flipped classroom

A flipped classroom is a personalized learning strategy where homework and lesson times are switched. Students spend time at home going over material such as videos or recordings of lessons. Then they come to class to work through assignments and practice ideas!

This means that students come to school prepared to ask questions and get help from their teachers during class time.

This gives students the chance to learn at their own pace. Class time is spent improving knowledge rather than explaining basic concepts for students to work on their own.

3. Genius Hour

The Genius Hour concept gives students a chance to explore topics they're interested in. Students are responsible for researching a topic, coming up with a project around it, and then presenting it to the class.

As a teacher, you can set aside different amounts of time for your students to work on their passion projects: anything from a couple of hours a month to spare time during the week.

Deadlines aren't pushed, and creativity blooms when students get to pursue their own projects. During Genius Hour, students are given opportunities to express their passions and take control of their education.
