I would love to be able to slip jokes when I talk in public, like the man who run a short seminar on speaking in public last week at university, which was meant to help us with our dissertation presentations. Unfortunately, I have no such talent, but I like the advice in the post, because I see things which even I would be able to do. I especially like the idea of having students bring humour into the class. It is always a good idea to invite more skillful people to contribute, and there are always a couple of students who are good at humour in each group.
From the pre-primary teacher point of view, it is a very important subject, as children start to develop their sense of humour in those years, and they enjoy a lot playing with humour. Besides, it helps them greatly to develop their language skills, as telling jokes is a difficult thing where you need to use rhythm, body language, memory, tone and others in an specific way if you want your audience to laugh. And humour is a great way to bond and enjoy life together.
There was a time when I created a tag for cartoons in the blog, and would bring some once in a while, but I haven't done it lately. I should go back to it. Even though it is not suitable for children, I bring a funny monologue by Rowan Atkinson welcoming his audience to hell. It could be used in an English lesson for adults, for instance. It can even be found with captions.
