Wacky Lesson

I wanted to teach the students the therapeutic techniques and the focus was on learning the technical terms and understanding the concepts. The students were in no mood for any serious study and wanted me to teach them through hangman. It was in class that I had to immediately think of a way to proceed and go about the lesson. I must say that it turned out to be the most interesting class which we all enjoyed.
Every time I wanted to introduce a term I called two students randomly and gave them the word and briefly explained the meaning so that they knew how to create an image of the word. The class was divided into 5 groups and 4 groups had 5 members and the last group had 4 members. The two students discussed how to portray the word on the board. What was surprising was that the students learnt faster and remained involved through out the class. The drawings or the images helped them to pick up the new words and learn their usage. Of course some explanation was required every now and then but the students thought much more than they usually do. What I also realized was that every student got an opportunity to participate.
