Tip: Emotionally Upbeat Classroom > Humor

SKU:

Humor facilitates learning, enhances attention, and makes learning fun (Bergin, 2018).


Here are some ways to infuse humor into your classroom:

  • Laugh at yourself!
  • Display cartoons.
  • Tell jokes.
  • Note funny quotes.
  • Play!
  • Take intentional breaks to have fun!


This #emintsTip was inspired by a 2014 Edutopia article by Maurice J. Elias called “Using Humor in the Classroom.”
