Teaching to teachers : Article series - 03 : Very basics : Speaking a fun word

Speaking a fun word or telling a joke during the session is one of the best techniques of getting attention towards speaker in any form of public speaking. Be it at teaching, at a public speaking or at any other occasion.
Humans, by very nature love comedy. It is not necessary that every teacher or speaker should tell a joke at each session to audience. A well taught teacher could simply avoid this quality / tip. But having fun during lecture relieves self and class room.
Joke or fun words can be from external or internal. Teacher can pick a recent incident or activity which have some scope for fun. Or you can make fun of some system or actor. Sometimes students may also initiates some fun stuff.
But, while using this technique teacher should be careful of the direction towards which the activity is going on. If fun activity is more and students get deviated towards unnecessary topics then whole session gets affected and students may not concentrate on actual topic of the session. So we should cut it at the right time and continue the talk.
