Learning Through Laughter

How to bring humour to the classroom

• with illustrations and teaching materials


Bringing humour to the classroom stimulates pupils’ curiosity, creativity and motivation and can even defuse conflict – not just with children and adolescents but also with parents! Humour is also an effective way of dealing with stress. Teachers certainly don’t have to be born comedians as humour techniques can be learnt. Applicable in all school types, these techniques have proven very successful in lessons. This book shows how you can sharpen your humour and stay healthy at the same time!

Examples include:
• surprising children with wordplay
• deliberately acting in a childish manner
• self-mockery and exaggeration
• humour in body language
• joke of the day
• cartoon of the week
