Build Rapport With The Students

If it’s the first time you’re teaching young students, you want to build rapport with them first before you start teaching.

The best way to build a connection with them is to ask their names and make sure you remember them.

You could even ask the students to make name cards then place them somewhere on their desks or draw the classroom on board and label each student's position and their names on it.

When asking students to answer a question, you should not use anything other their name; “John, what’s the name of your math teacher?”, “Mary, how old are you?” and so on.

It feels great to see someone calling you by your name and this could help a lot when teaching young students.

Include Games In The Class

To engage young learners in the class, use games while teaching, regardless of the lesson. This will help young learners to respond positively and participate actively in class.

Usually, there are favorite games young learners love but you can also teach them those they don’t know. 

Set Rules

Don’t set too many rules though. Just a few that will help to control and manage the class. Make sure the rules are simple and clear, or you could even let the students make classroom rooms by themselves.

Right the rules on the board or somewhere else and make sure your students can see them every time.

Make Teaching More Fun

As mentioned above, education for young students can be exciting and challenging. However, even if you had a bad weekend or a grouchy Monday, you should leave all the feelings at the door.

Have fun with your students. Don’t show them your frustrations. Put a smile on your face no matter how bad the situation is. Make learning exciting.

You could tell stories as they listen, sing for them, or ask them to do it for you.

Be Patient

Unlike teaching grown-up students, teaching young students requires patience as most of them don’t grasp the content easily.

Besides, different students have different learning speeds. So, you want to avoid hurrying up things making sure you’re moving together as a class not leaving anyone behind as you teach. 

Watch and Keep Their Attention

When teaching young students, it’s vital to keep their attention; but this isn’t easy.

To keep your students focused, here are a few tips.

  • Let them know how their moms and dads will be happy if they pay attention in class.
  • Don’t pay too much attention to minor bad behavior.
  • Don’t shout at your students.
  • Praise and encourage them regularly.
