Fun Learning Methods For Kids

1. Practical Examples
Besides kids learn theories from the textbook and do homework on their workbook, kids need practical examples. Take an example of give & take away with the real objects so kids can learn subtraction and addition easily.

2. Show and Tell
I guess every child likes to pretend play as a teacher. In show and tell, a child takes an initiative to be a teacher, an opportunity to explain to his peers about a particular topic. An example: when they study about flower or plant, each child can bring one particular flower or plant to classroom and she must gather the information about that particular plant or flower before show and tell. Kids will learn about presentation skill.

3. Mind Mapping & Visualization
I believe drawing and coloring is the most fun activity for kids. Why don’t transform information they learn into drawing and charts or map. 

4. Case Study or Working in a Group
Kids love to think and they can find out the solution if we ask a question “why” or give them a case. Case study is an exercise which kids are taught to think in a real life situation which often prevail in adult working life. Students are normally required to work in a group. Besides exercising creative thinking skill, kids learn to work together to and to cooperate since they are young. They have to produce the solution or answer as a result of working in a group.

5. Quiz
Quiz can be a fun learning activity. Spelling quiz or a series of questions in maths or other subjects which students can compete against each other to answer the questions in a short time.

6. Project 

Kids will learn how to summarize their observation, information and together with their creativity in a project. Below is the rain forest project that my child made when she learned about rain forest and visited rain forest.
