Question

What does is mean to enjoy laughing with the class, but not at the expense of a student?

Answer 1

• Enjoying and sharing a laugh in class is different from laughing at someone's expense.Enaging in fun activities in classroom can initiate laughter which does not involve laughing at another classmate.Its about doing a fun activity and laughing with each other,this helps to build camaraderie between students.
• Nine times out of ten, students don’t enjoy coming to school because they don’t think it is fun. I believe the key way to do this is get them hooked through humour and a sense of fun. Smiling should be encouraged, laughing should be promoted. Learning happens when engagement is at its highest point.A joke session can happen,wherein every student could tell a joke and if they are not embarrassed then can share own funny experiences,but one should not be forced.
• Everyone should be told to share a funny story,if they want to and not one should be singled out.Everyone should laugh at each others stories and with each other.
• Build creative and humorous thinking by showing cartoons and picture without captions and asking students to create them – individually, in pair-shares, or small groups
• Ask students to bring in books they think are funny. Ask them to talk about why, and to use examples from the book.
• These things encourage humour and laughing in classrooms and creates a fun learing experience at the same time.
