Summary of The Laughing Classroom: Everyone's Guide to Teaching with Humor and Play (Loomans, Diane)

What distinguishes a boring classroom from a learning classroom? Laughter. This book helps move teachers from a ?limiting? teaching style to a ?laughing? style that inspires creativity and helps students learn faster and better. Cowritten by a former educator and the founder of a comedy improvisation company, The Laughing Classroom helps teachers ? and parents ? make learning fun while instilling self-esteem, solid work habits, and the joy of learning in children. Suggested activities involve silly songs, special dress days, vocabulary-building, observation, communication, social skills, and self-expression. The book gives teachers 50 ways to say ?you did OK,? 15 play breaks, and humorous homework assignments to make the task fun. This edition includes a new introduction by the authors and a foreword by veteran comedian Steve Allen.
