Top 3 Tips for Designing Effective Worksheets
One of the best study materials with which parents as well as teachers can evoke an interest in children about the study topics is worksheets. You can create awesome worksheets on various topics and get them printed to give them to children to solve. The main benefit of worksheets is that they can be a lot offbeat from regular studies and so, children can have fun while solving them. Here are some tips for worksheets.
1. Make Children Act
Make it a point that children would not just answer some questions, fill in the blanks or choose answers from the given ones. Rather your worksheet should aim at evoking them to do something and think more creatively. The best approach is to combine both – academic question-answers and some food for thought. If you only include some questions or a lesson plan with definite directions and to be completed within a stipulated time, children will be more interested in finishing them and run to play. Instead if you include some call to action, for example, putting some real-world situation before them (which should not be disturbing for them) to find a solution to, with no time limit as such, they will get more engaged with the assignment.
2. Include Drawing or Labeling
In the context of evoking to do something, include drawing or labeling some already given drawings (for very young children), and children will be happy to do that. You can either tell them to draw by themselves or give incomplete sketches and tell them to complete and color them. For example, you can tell them to draw plant parts or label them.
3. Make Math More Engaging
Math is generally considered a difficult and therefore a boring subject. Your aim should be to remove this conception. You can include engaging games associated to math and make the subject more engaging for children in your math worksheets. You can also include quizzes and puzzles, if your children love them.
Find such innovative ideas, drawings, maps, quizzes, puzzles and more of such content to engage children more in studies through worksheets and get them printed.
