- The joy of learning comes from the experiences of success. "A teacher should favour such teaching methods that enable the achievement of little intervening goals as a part of a greater learning process: smaller achievements func- tion as catalysts towards greater overall goals.
- Play provides a possibility to experience the joy of learning in the early school years. "Although a child does not consider play as a tool for learning, play itself represents important and meaningful activity.
- The joy of learning enjoys an environment of freedom. "Children’s free play should not be regarded only as side action that occurs when nothing important is happening and all the ‘real’ tasks are completed.
- The joy of learning does not like to hurry. "As the joy of learning is often connected with finishing a task or solving a problem, hurry does nothing to enhance the achievement of these goals.

- Make Lessons Interactive. In Luminos classrooms, we use a wide range of teaching methods that span from structured, explicit instruction to more student-driven projects, depending on the topic being covered and the students’ level of understanding.
- Learning Should be Social and Collaborative. By encouraging students to work collaboratively in groups and pairs, we provide students with opportunities to practice skills, explore new concepts, and build confidence in a non-threatening way.
- Incorporate Playful Activities and Games. Playful activities and games are an important feature in the Luminos classroom, serving to engage students, keep their attention, and increase their enjoyment of lessons.
- Use Physical and Multi-Modal Methods. Lessons in the Luminos program are multi-modal, meaning that they use tactile and kinesthetic methods alongside visual and auditory approaches.
- Let students lead. Empower students–support them and get out of their way. In part, this is the difference of ‘push’ teaching versus ‘pull’ teaching. Not only are students (generally) more energetic, imaginative, but your role shifts and the dynamic of the classroom itself shifts from a teacher having ‘strong classroom management skills’ to ‘children are engaged and leading their own learning experiences.’
- Use team-building. Community and togetherness and fraternity bring trust and interdependence–and ultimately can lead to joy. Here are some examples of team-building games that promote critical thinking to get you started.
- Be human. Being joyful is a hallmark of being human, so it makes sense that being human can ’cause’ joy. Figuring out what this means to you–in your classroom with your students–is your starting point and then, through ongoing dialogue with students (and recognition what is and is not working), finding out how ‘human’ your classroom should be for students to grow.
- Use ‘human’ project-based learning. Piggy-backing on the concept above, project-based learning moves the learning out of the classroom. It also can shift learning from ‘learn how to calculate the area of a rectangle’ to ‘learning how to calculate the area of a rectangle so you can design urban garden spaces of local, sustainable food sources.’
Joyful learning is engaging, empowering, and playful learning of meaningful content in a loving and supportive community. It is based on evidence that joyful techniques are more effective and that joy is a valued outcome of learning.
