Teaching by the textbook is easy, but much of that information goes in one ear and out the other. If you want your students to internalize their lessons, you need to make learning hands-on. Try these three interactive learning tools to help your students retain what they learn in the classroom.
3D Models
One of the oldest and most popular interactive learning tools for kids, 3D models are just as effective today as when you were a child. Models are a cost-effective way for students to explore everything from the solar system to cell structures. The visual and kinesthetic learning aspects of 3D models help kids remember their lessons longer and in more detail than textbook learning.
Posters and Die Cuts
Do you want an easy, versatile and affordable interactive learning tool for your students? Posters and die cuts are classic visual aids that are easy to make yourself. Invest in a printer or die-cut machine for your school to save money over purchasing these items at educational supply stores.
Food and Candy
Did you know that the grocery store is one of the best places to find interactive learning tools for kids? From M&M math to cabbage-based models of the human brain, food makes learning fun and easy. The best part is that the kids can eat their homework when they’re done with it. Remember to ask your students about allergies before bringing food items into the classroom.
