Here's a list of thing I do to make my classes interesting.
- I move around the classroom and try to get the whole class involved.
- I use TPR warm-up activities with first- and second-graders.
- My students are ecstatic when I bring my sister's laptop and play some YouTube clips or songs.
- They love games like word bingo or day-night (or stand up-sit down).
- I print flashcards and coloring pages to first- and second-graders a lot.
- I prepare short handouts, from time to time, providing links with useful dictionaries (single words translation, single word pronunciation, pronunciation of whole texts, etc.).

At the end of the class, whenever I do something different, I ask for feedback.
Sometimes my students ask me something I happen to don't know, but I don't fear to say I don't know something. I always check it at home and tell the students in the following class.
As a busy novice teacher, I'm 100% open to all kinds of suggestions about making classes more interesting and creative. If you have some ideas to share, please do so.
Dear Milja,

These guidelines are the road to success, when it comes to teaching young learners.

You should see the new film "Freedom Writers" with Hilary Swank,about a novice teacher and how she deals successfully with challenges!You remind me of her!
