Education is the most important ingredient of a successful life. It makes a person knowledgeable and teaches him to behave decently in the society. It helps us creating our own dignity in the world.
To make education more fun for the child, practical knowledge should be given as far as possible. Teaching should be done with lots of innovative ideas in the simplest form. At times, it becomes monotonous for students to study in the class within four walls. Teachers should try to take them in open ground atleast once in a blue moon. First of all the topic should be doled out into various points which makes it easy to learn. If topics are correlated with interesting things, it enhances memory. Sometime actions and gestures also play a vital role in making things funny, thereby making them easier. These actions could be utilized mostly when poetry is taught. A child’s mind will surely be keen to check whether the teacher is acting well for the specific word or a sentence. This judgment will help him to learn things properly.
A subject always appear to be very difficult unless and until it is made funny. There are different methods through which a subject could be made facetious. Maths being the backbone of education should be given serious attention. It is utilized throughout the life. So extensive exercises should be given frequently as there is a saying, “Practice makes the man perfect”. In this particular scenario if Maths will become simple it will become fun to elucidate it. Grammar could be best solved by setting some examples. In this matter names of two best friends could be used in conjunctions etc. For punctuation an individual child should be given a sentence to be edited on the blackboard. This encourages a child not only to perform well but also follow the norms of the topic. Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, tenses also could be made funny by drawing few funny pictures or rather cartoons on the blackboard. Moreover children should be asked to make few illustrations which makes the topic entertaining. For nursery children alphabets and hindi varnmala could be made amusing through games like hop scotch etc. Literature could be made funny through pageantry. Same ways subjects like history, civics etc could be also best illustrated through theatrics. For geography clay modeling should be used as archetype. Science is a subject of demonstration. JIL capsule video presentation promises a lot of fun along with knowledge. Periodic table becomes easier and funnier if learnt in rhyming form.
Teachers should never demoralize the child as this humiliation can result in his failure. They should try to establish a healthy and friendly relationship with each and every child. Comparing is the worst habit in the field of education. It should not be used at any cost.
Instead of completing the syllabus quickly, teachers should try to go slow and steady as per the pace of an average child. This will not only abate the burden but also it will make the concepts clear. Last but not the least, teachers should be full of zeal and should always wear a smile on their face. It spreads positive energy amongst students. They should take care not to be shabbily dressed as these things are not too important for education, still these things should not be ignored.
