@Ridafatima95 I love using the question ball in class. It’s simple and really fun for all the class just write questions on a ball and toss it around. Whoever catches it answers the question. It keeps everyone so engaged builds confidence and makes learning feel like a game!

@Ridafatima95 Your activities are very engaging. The use of interactive elements makes learning more memorable and student-centered. Great to see how you connect motivation with learning outcomes. Well done

I use a variety of interactive activities in my teaching, such as group projects, role-plays, debates, educational games, and peer teaching. These methods boost student engagement, make learning enjoyable, and help students understand and retain concepts more deeply. They also encourage collaboration, build communication skills, and promote critical thinking by allowing students to apply knowledge in creative, real-life contexts.

Interactive teaching activities greatly enhance student engagement and understanding. I often use think-pair-share, role-plays, quizzes, and project-based learning in my classroom. These methods not only make lessons more enjoyable but also build critical thinking and collaboration skills. Even simple, low-cost strategies like group discussions and peer teaching can boost confidence and focus. I’d love to learn more about what activities others find effective in their classrooms.
