It’s a teacher’s worst nightmare; after class starts, students fall asleep at their chairs or stare at the clock until the last minute. How do you create a fun learning environment that keeps kids engaged so they’re not itching to leave as soon as the bell rings?

Complement your lesson plans with a variety of interactive supplies that encourage kids to use their hands and their minds. Regardless of the subject you teach, you can keep kids involved by giving them drawing paper or notepads along with pencils, pens and markers, and ask them to draw or write something related to the lesson using their own creativity. Stock up on stickers to reward kids for engaging, and gather plenty of dry-erase markers and erasers to make the most of your white board.

Don’t forget to break up lecture with some fun crafts using a colorful assortment of craft supplies. Finish your classroom shopping list with bulletin boards for exciting news and announcements, storage bins for your supplies, and other essentials from the hand-picked collection at Office Depot.
