It’s well known that children don’t stay focused for a long period of time especially if something excludes them and isn’t interesting. Why not try finding an easier way to teach children without losing their attention?
Children like interactive, colourful and exciting activities. How do you think you could incorporate these things into a lesson?
- Mathematics lessons
Youngsters will find this subject incredibly boring. Many teachers use colour to highlight answers or objects to show differences in numbers. Math bingo is a well-known game played in the classroom and it works well if there are many students. Make sure to offer a prize for the winner so that you keep their attention.If you want to teach students multiplication you can either make them act as the numbers or you can create a game that requires them to shout the answer. You could write a sum on the board and whoever has the piece of paper with the correct answer on it has to get up and stick it to the board.
- Science Lessons
Science is the subject where you can experiment and question why a certain thing happens in the world. Children like to see reactions. The best way to start this off is by doing the volcano reaction. Make your students construct an interesting volcano with trees and a realistic landscape. This will be fun for them to watch when they see the result of the experiment.When it comes to lessons involving the physical reactions, such as impacts and crashes, you can use boxes with elastic. Make your students create force on a wheeled box using wind energy or fire energy in order to get it to move. Then explain to them why the reaction happened.
- Theory Lessons
English, art theory, science theory, and history are not the most exciting subjects for most students. Most students’ minds will drift away. When teaching these subjects it is ideal to use as much imagery as possible and get your students to be creative. Start off by making them create a story that is relevant to a particular time era or situation. They learn quickly if they experience it or are able to visualise it.
