Laughing Lessons
What's one of the best ways to get through to kids in your classroom? Lighten up! Even if you think you might behumor impaired, this book can help you make your classroom a fun and lively place.
Look inside for lots of ways to laugh and learn together. You'll discover how to develop a humorous outlook; overcome your fear of looking foolish; blend humor with discipline; use puppets, props, cartoons, games, stories, jokes, costumes, gags, magic, and more; and blend humor into the curriculum--language arts, science, math, music and art, and physical education.
The ideas are innovative and useful, simple and straightforward. Even if you don't see yourself as funny, you'll find suggestions you're comfortable trying. Throughout, the humor is always appropriate and accepting, never mean or sarcastic, and often delightfully corny...in other words, just right for the elementary school classroom.
Laughing Lessons won't turn you into a stand-up comedian or your classroom into Comedy Central. It will help you improve your classroom environment, connect with your students, and enjoy teaching more. Especially if you take your job very seriously, this book is for you. Recommended for classroom teachers and anyone else who works with children. Includes reproducibles.
