"SEC | S19W4: Active and Fun Teaching Strategies"
When teaching, what steps will you use to create an active and fun classroom atmosphere? |
|---|
Whenever am teaching, I always ensure that the environment is clean and all the students are well dressed. Cleanliness is next to godliness and everything related to my teaching activity should be neat. My class never gets boring because am a friendly and funny guy. Am serious with my students though but I try to make my atmosphere entertaining sometimes.
As a teacher standing in front of the classroom facing the students, I need to be filled with boldness because I own the stage and I can do whatever I want as long as it pleases my audience which are my students. As the altar server president in my church I teach the young altar servers alot of things related to the association as well as the catholic church.
I always divide the students into three and I will do a brief quiz. The students always love quiz and this is one of the things that brightens their day whenever they come for tutorials. The winning team for that day gets very excited because of the beautiful prize I give to them sometimes, while the losing team always see it as a challenge and they work very hard towards my next quiz.
What were the results after you implemented these steps, were the students actively involved and happy following your lesson? |
|---|
After implementing these steps, the students developed the habit to work hard anywhere they find themselves in life, they also try their best to win any quiz they participate in. I quickly noticed something that the boys really love anything competitions and I decided to organize a one day football competition which got them more excited.
The students were actively involved in my lesson as they were all curiously waiting for what am about to teach them next. Oh wow, young kids are really amazing and intelligent. The students laugh with joy each time I crack a joke and sometimes when I punish some of the students and they cry for an hour, I will walk up to them and tell them something very funny and they will get excited and remove any grudges they have against me.
In your opinion, what are the weaknesses and strengths of the strategies you have used? |
|---|
The students are only boys and I discovered that teaching gets more interesting whenever the two genders are learning under one roof, the boys will be more joyous if the girls were around.
Another weakness is the fact that the boys always want to hear stories instead of them thinking of how to can learn alot of things in a day. Humans wants are insatiable and even if I even spend the whole day telling them stories, they won't still get satisfied.
The boys are very honest and they all have a free heart, I really admire their good behavior alot and am sure this is as a result that they are come from good homes, their parents teach them morals alot.
Whenever I teach in the class and I crack a joke for a long time, the boys will still remember what I taught them before I started cracking the jokes. I really admire their smartness alot and despite the fact that they pressure they hear more stories and jokes than learning, the boys always study ahead of me and I love them all.

Children are so precious!
I love that you say you always make jokes. I do believe that with a joke or two, you get far more out of teaching. This is applicable to both children and adults.
As for those boys, just remember one thing: boys will be boys!
Best wishes, and thank you for the invitation.
Thanks for your wonderful comment ma, yh jokes really makes teaching more lively. Youa re right, boys will always be boys. Have a nice day.
Thank you! A nice day and weekend to you also. ☕
Kuis singkat.... Ya, tentu saja saya juga menyukai metode ini apalagi jika ada hadiahnya. Saya ingat saat sekolah dulu, guru memberikan kami kuis cepat, siapa yang bisa mwnjawab maka mereka boleh tidur selama 5 menit (karena saya sekolah asrama yang memiliki jadwal padat, maka tidur adalah sebuah hadiah terindah ketika itu)... Dan kami akan berusaha dalam tantangan ini sehingga kelasnya menjadi aktif, akhirnya kamipun dapat menjawab dan kami tidak tertidur karena suasana kelas yang berubah....
Semoga berhasil dalam kontes ini teman... 😊
I agree with you that boys enjoy listening to stories more. They do not think that sometimes these stories can also waste their time. Because there are some subjects which we cannot understand through stories. They have to be learned at a very straight level.
Good luck
Thanks for the wonderful comment my friend, everyone always love to hear stories, especially true life stories. But don't you think is possible that students can understand all the subjects through stories, you know we have different kinds of stories.
Students are all different are believe there are students who can understand mathematics of they tell them some stories related to the particular topic in that subject 😍🥰.
