ICT resource – Have fun teaching

I decided to write about the website Have fun teaching; this since I am living in the same situation as many other teachers; with a great need of free teaching resources. This website has helped me and saved me a lot of time looking for good resources so that’s why I would like to share it and hopefully other teachers can benefit from it too. 

What kind of ICT resource is it and how can it be used?

Have fun teaching is a website with free quality teaching resources for primary school. It’s mainly a resource for teachers but can also be used by the pupils. Teachers can find free printable worksheets, flashcards, activities and lesson plans but also songs and videos to use in the classroom. Pupils can go in to watch the videos and the songs, a good idea would be in the company with their parents.

This resource is really easy to use though it has a clear and concreate structure. And you do not need to register to be able to download or print the worksheets and activities. You just need a computer and internet, enter the website http://www.havefunteaching.com/ , where you will find the homepage with the categories: worksheet, activities, tools, songs, videos, workbooks, shop and my account. Then under each category you will find many subtitles so you can directly go to what you are looking for.

Here are some specific examples of each category: 

-         Worksheets: Basic skills, colouring pages, create your own worksheet, crossword puzzles, grade level, holidays, math, reading, science, social studies, test practice, themes, word search puzzles and writing worksheets.

-         Activities: Art and craft, holidays, games, smartboard lessons and thematic units.

-         Tools: apps, classroom decoration, lesson plans, signs and posters, flash cards and word lists.

-         Songs: alphabet songs, counting songs, math songs, shape songs and songs for kids.

-         Videos: alphabet video, character video, grammar video, phonics video and shape video.

Next categories/titles that we find on the homepage are parts of the shop, where you can buy extra material.

-         Workbooks: English workbook, math workbook, comprehension workbook and science workbook.

-         Shop: Music CD’s, Video DVD’s, packages etc. 

The last title is my account but it’s just for those who want to buy any extra material that need to register and log in.

  

So, all you teachers who are looking for fun and learning activities to do in the class and do not want to spend too much time looking for it, I recommend you Have fun teaching.

Have fun teaching!
