30+ Web Tools, Apps, and Resources to Engage With Humor

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. – Dr. Seuss

April Fool’s Day is coming! Now is a great time to engage your learners with humor. Humor makes learning fun, is a great way to ease the anxiety of preparing for tests, makes boring topics more bearable, and prepares the brain to learn difficult topics. Below are our some free web tools, resources and apps your students will enjoy. Use these resources to spice up a lesson or get your learners to use them to present what they have learned in a fun way! For ideas on how to effectively use these tools for learning, check out my webinar recordings, Engage Learners with Humor and Teach English with Jokes, or my articles in the GO Teach magazine and The Education Horizons Journal, LOL! Teacher! Using Humor to Enhance Student Learning. On Friday, March 17th, I will conduct a free webinar, Engage Students with Humor, at 4pm ET/8pm UK/5am Sat. Tokyo/7am Sat. Sydney.
