Games
Most children seem to be able to come to an activity with more
energy, enthusiasm, and tolerance for correction if it is presented as
a game. That is often true even if the game packaging is minimal and
transparent. I wonder why that is. Maybe the exercises and drills,
despite all our efforts, are more threatening than games. Also, of
course, many games offer the student a chance to beat the teacher. (In
fact, in competitive games the teacher should see to it that the
student usually wins.)

(among other things) an active bulletin board and "kids-only" section.
