There are many ways you can use to teach your students. But if you really want them to actively participate in the lesson, rather than just memorizing facts or numbers, then the best way to do this is through interactive lessons.
Interactive classes are classes that eliminate one-way communication or individual instruction in favor of engaging students in the lessons or material. These activities allow students to understand what they are learning on a deeper level, making lessons more successful and rewarding.
There are different ways to get students to actively participate in class:
- interaction between teacher and student
- student interaction with each other
- use of audio and video
- demonstrations and practical exercises
You encourage your students to be active participants in your learning, to think for themselves, which leads to long-term retention of information. Not only does the student's knowledge improve, but so does their interest, strength, team spirit and freedom of expression.
Below are 20 ideas, tools, and games that will make your lessons interactive and improve the learning experience.
Conventionally, they can be divided into the following categories:
- Stimulating communication and feedback from students
- Individual training events
- Activity in pairs
- Group activities
- Interactive gaming activities
Interactive Instructional Strategies to Promote Student Communication and Feedback
The 3 most effective ways to encourage students to talk more and give feedback during class:
- Work in pairs: Discuss – Share
Ask a problem or question about a specific topic and pair students up. Give each pair enough time to reach the correct conclusion and allow students to share their opinions. This way, your students will be actively engaged and remember the lesson more than ever before.
- Brainstorm
Interactive brainstorming is carried out in group sessions. This process is useful for generating creative thoughts and ideas. Brainstorming helps students learn to work together and, above all, learn from each other. You'll be amazed at all the great ideas they come up with!
To structure students' ideas, it is convenient to use mind mapping services, for example, Mindmeister.
- Discussion
Participants join discussion groups that focus on one topic. In each group, each participant shares his thoughts and ideas. Encourage discussion and collaboration among students in each group. They must learn from each other's experiences. As a teacher, you can give your students a few keywords to spark conversation.
Individual training events
- Survey
It is best to use a survey at the end of the lesson. Ask students to write an answer to a specific question within one minute. For example: “What is the most important thing you learned today?”
Then you can start the conversation from there in the next lesson. You can ask students if they still remember what they wrote down.
- Checking for misconception
Identify student misconceptions. See if they can identify the correct answer when given a false fact. This is useful for reinforcing the previous lesson and also encourages students to think deeply and retain the material better.
- Circle the question
Create a checklist or survey with a list of questions (make them specific) about your topic and ask students to circle (or mark) the ones they don't know the answer to.
Create assignments based on the different questions that have been circled. Have your students work on additional exercises and explanations for these assignments individually. Since your students will all circle different questions, you should give each of them their own individual set of tasks.

- Ask the "A" student
Ask students to silently solve a problem or answer a question. After receiving an answer, ask those who did it correctly to raise their hands (if the lesson is taking place offline) or write about it in the chat (if you are teaching an online lesson). Then all other students should talk to someone who completed the task in order to better understand the essence and avoid making mistakes next time.
Activity in pairs
- Find a couple and share
After the sharing and discussion described in the first idea above, you can also ask students to find a new partner and share with them the learnings and realizations that occurred in a previous partnership with another student.
- Teacher and pupil
Invite students to discuss the main points of the lesson. Then divide students into pairs and assign them 2 roles. One of them is a teacher, and the other is a student. The teacher's job is to jot down the main points, while the student's job is to cross off items on his list as they are mentioned and come up with 2-3 items that the teacher missed.
- Share your partner's results
After individual creative activity, pair students to share their results. Then give the floor to volunteers who found their partner's work interesting or exemplary. Students are often more willing to publicly share fellow students' work than their own. As a result, you can gently lead them to share their findings and perhaps even the results of their work.
- Forced dispute
Have students discuss in pairs. They must defend the opposite side of their personal opinion. This encourages students to step away from their own beliefs and teaches them to look at a situation from a different angle from time to time.
There may be this option: one half of the group takes one position, the other half another. Each person can speak only once so that all students on both sides can speak about the issue.
- Optimist/pessimist
In pairs, students consider opposing emotional sides of a case study, statement, or topic. Ask them to truly “live” the case study. You'll discover some good ideas and your students will gain important social skills.
- Expert review
To help students with a writing task, have them exchange drafts with a partner. The partner reads the essay and writes a 3-paragraph response: the first paragraph describes the strengths of the essay, the second paragraph discusses its problems, and the third paragraph describes what the partner would focus on in editing if it were their essay. Students can learn a lot from each other!

Group activities
- Movement from board to board
Divide the group into several subgroups of students and give them your own board (flipchart or interactive, depending on whether you teach offline or online). Distribute one question/topic per board. After the group writes the answer on the board, they move to the next board. Here they write their answer under the answer of the previous group. Continue this way until all groups have written their answer on each board.
- Winner selection
Divide the group into subgroups and give them the opportunity to work on one topic/problem. Have them write down the answer/strategy on paper or digitally. Then ask the subgroup to interact with the subgroup closest to them and allow their answer to be judged. And do this with each subgroup until everyone evaluates each other. Then all subgroups must unite into 1 and choose the best answer from the two options, which will be presented to the whole group.
- Movie app
In groups, students discuss examples of films that use the concept or event discussed in class, trying to identify at least one way the filmmakers got it right and one way they got it wrong. Think about films showing historical and geographical facts, biographies of famous people, etc.
