Teaching children can be difficult if no one is having fun. Both the teacher and children can be miserable. That's why so many teacher supply stores have opened on the Web in recent years. Many teachers have discovered that adding a few inquisitive (and fun) educational supplies to their classrooms brings better learning and a happier atmosphere for years and years. You can make learning fun for your students and improve morale for an entire classroom using just a few of these.
Success Training that's not "Boring"
Find teacher supplies that bring learning to life. What's better - reading from pages in a book or seeing the real thing? Children today are programmed to learn from what they see and hear. They watch television and videos, they play video games, use computers, etc. All these activities focus on seeing and hearing - not reading. Sure, children must learn to read their school curriculum. But why not add some interesting visual objects to the classroom to enhance what they are learning.
Here are some examples:
*Spanish Class:
For an elementary Spanish class, give each child a Spanish beanbag. Have them read some Spanish text or memorize some words, and then allow them to shake the beanbag when they know the answer to a question. Another idea for this class is to teach them some songs in Spanish and let them make up simple skits using the Spanish language.
*Math Class:
If you teach an elementary Math class, use flash cards and have students compete to see who can tell the answer first. Students love games and competitions! You can also divide them into teams and give the winning team a reward.
