Fun and Enjoyable Alternative Educational Resources For Schools

        Educational resources for schools are regulated and standardised. However, regulation and standardisation are not that rigid; teachers can use or apply different teaching resources as long as they fall within the guidelines set by the school and the education agency of the government. Hence, teachers and educators can use alternative instruction materials which are fun and enjoyable because they attract the attention of learners and students and sustain their interest.

• Games and Other Activities – Fun and enjoyable educational resources for schools include games and other activities which provoke the thoughts of the students. These games and activities can be individual or group activities. Most individual games and activities would eventually end up in a group setting as the processing of the learning is done in a group setting and group involvement or sharing makes a game or an activity interesting which is the purpose of alternative teaching methods.

• Screening and Censorship – The alternative teaching and educational resources for schools should be secured with an approval from the school administration, especially if they involve issues in moral teachings and social agendum. Teachers and educators should be sensitive to each of the students' social profile and to morals. For example, in choosing plays or comical skits to be performed by students with the purpose of giving awareness of certain principles taught, the teacher should see to it that they do not contain portions which may be offensive to some students especially with regards to their social profile.

• Other Examples – Examples of the educational resources include, but are not limited to, the mentioned plays and comical skits, magic tricks, games with paraphernalia and photos or images from the internet. There are free and paid educational resources in the internet and traditional sources like educational materials suppliers.

Teachers and educators should use alternative educational resources that make learning fun and enjoyable for students and non-formal learners.
