If you are an elementary school teacher, I strongly recommend that you invest in some cartoon costumes. Easy to find, easy to use, and extremely cost-effective, cartoon mascots and/or costumes are terrific teaching tools. As someone who has worked with kids for several years in the past, I speak from experience when I say that cartoon mascots work wonders in the classroom.
Teaching with Cartoon Costumes:
If there is one thing you should know about teaching kids, it is this: children have positively no attention span. As a teacher, if you are not constantly entertaining your students with energetic lesson plans and/or teaching games, then you can rest assured that they wont be paying attention for long. That is why Ive found cartoon mascots such an excellent teaching resource.
I am a strong believer in teaching with puppets. To me, a cartoon mascot and/or costume is just another extension of puppet teaching. No matter what the age, children positively adore mascots. They just cant get enough of them! Your kids might not be interested in hearing you lecture for ten minutes, but you can rest assured they will listen attentively to someone dressed in a cartoon costume doing the same!
Cartoon costumes are terrific teaching tools, no matter what the students age!
