Classroom comedy is fun, and even though you're sometimes a little nervous about letting your students loose, it can be an educational experience that you will always remember. The best part of having classroom comedy is that it can be improvised and really help your students to be more interactive with one another. Teaching with comedy will give them a sense of accomplishment when they come out the other side, and also be a good way to keep their attention.
When you have your students in front of you in class, they can practice improvisation or simply read a few humorous and light-hearted stories as a way to get to know one another. All you need to do is come up with the materials that will allow them to get started on a story, and you can start talking amongst yourselves. While the ability to improvise is certainly an advantage, the main idea is to give your students a chance to interact and be creative with one another.
All of the good things that you see in television and movies, where you can actually watch the story come to life, are true in the classroom. The key is to get your students involved, so they can make decisions. This takes time, and you must be patient in your teaching, but you must also take pride in the work that you've done. If you don't practice, then you're not going to have any success with classroom comedy.
Make sure that you create a comedic style that matches the character that you want to portray. If you want to be a light-hearted teacher, don't yell at your students and even if they are making a mistake, try to help them work out the problems and mistakes. Most students will really respect you for having some sense of humor. Also, you will discover that your students will relate to your teaching style better, because it will allow them to get involved.
If you know what type of stories that you would like to use, find some funny story that you can relate to. Don't just choose one or two, if you do this, the students won't appreciate it. Give the students a few different ideas to choose from. Write down your top three ideas, and then have your students read these three stories and tell you if you have a story that they would really like to hear. You may even want to try to find some original material, such as a completely different subject.
Just remember that in order to make your students like you, you must use a little bit of funny material. You may want to buy some CDs or DVDs with humorous stories, and offer a few at the beginning of the year. You'll find that they will truly love the opportunity to have something in which they can relate to and will greatly appreciate it.
The main idea is to be creative and avoid sticking to the well-known stories. They may be entertaining, but they are not always appropriate for the classroom environment. Always have some funny material ready to go, no matter how awkward it may seem. Doing this will let you get the most out of your classroom comedy.
Classroom laughter can also make a student want to learn more about the subject that they were taught. You will find that in class, especially if you have a lot of students, everyone likes to feel like they are learning something. If you can avoid boring out your students, they will enjoy the process and will want to go back to learn more.
Keep a supply of funny stories that are not necessarily from the newspaper, and read them to your students as they come in. They may find the topics that you choose to include a little funny. By listening to the stories that you provide, they will soon be using this material in the classroom, and this will also help them develop their sense of humor.
There is nothing wrong with trying to be funny in the classroom. It's simply important to make sure that you have something that they will relate to. They might not end up using the stories for class, but they'll certainly use them during the rest of their lives.
Write down your material, and then allow it to develop over time, as you also let your students take control of the process by making their own unique way of telling their own version of funny stories. in class. in a funny manner.
