Well, if this must have something to do with Math, or abacus calculation, I suggest that you have these slips of paper having equations, like one slip will contain the "question" and the other will contain the "answer".\n\nFor example,\n"3 x 72" and "216"\n\nMake up a few different equations with such slips. Then, in your class, hand out these slips to the children. If they have the "question" slip, their task would be to find the person holding the correct "answer" slip and vice versa.\n\nThis will allow them to interact with one another in some sense. Hope this idea isn't too dull!

Make it Fun!!! Tell some jokes...show some movies...do ANYTHING that other (boring) teachers don't do. No matter what you do, though, always MAKE IT FUN.

there are lots of activities for this age group...\n\nmovement...use music by raffi, greg and steve, and hap palmer...try freeze dance, popcorn dance, use bean bags or nerf balls to go with the music (you can even use basic musical instruments like tamborines, maracas, and drums)\n\nreading/and listening activity....choose an age appropriate book, flannel board story, or fingerplays and tell the story you can give the pieces to individual children after you have read the story a few times and let them help with the story. children of this age are beginning to understand how to listen too and story tapes with a book are sometimes fun if they are not too long...\ncooking or science can be done too....usually making things like pudding or jello, even making popsicles works, science projects like rolling items down a long or wide board is sometimes fun too. i even carved a pumpkin with a group of this age....i did have an assistant to be sure no one got a hold of the knife but the children enjoyed helping clean out the seeds and touching and smelling the parts of the pumpkin..\n\nthere are some great books for teachers of this age too...my favorite is teachable 2's sorry dont remember the author, but ck in the lakeshore catalog for it.

Your desk should be out of the way...you're not going to be sitting in it during instruction, anyway. Set up students to allow ease of communication during class discussion, based on what you want for that discussion...peer partners, small-group teams, or whole-class. Make sure both standard and "when you're done" materials/center activities are placed for easy access. Create a variety of hands-on, audio, and other extra activities for centers (usable at any age level...just modify content and visual presentation). Find out student interests and find/develop activities that use those interests as a theme tying back into the skills and content area knowledge you're teaching.

Try art/music/theater day camps to keep them engaged.  Although they aren't specifically academic, they might be a chance to try something new in a lower-stakes environment.

do something fun . not to bore the kids or anything . some kind of reviewing activity like flash cards or a " mind dump " ( what my 5th grade teacher used to do ) a mind dump is where you take all your knowledge and just write it on a piece of paper. lol . if not then just go original and ask them questions .

When warm weather settles in, take them on a nature hike.  Most teens will think this is cheesy, but the competition will soon settle in.\n\nPlay a seeking game.  Create a list of items, with points attached, of things that are around their school.  List the scientific name (ones studied in class and some hard one for bonus pts)...deducting points if they have to ask about their common name.\n\nItems can included leaves, feathers, rocks, etc.  Make it a week long project where kids can work in teams.\n\nMy 10th grade Bio teacher did this...and even though we moaned at first at how childish the game was...we all aced our test the following week, and had a good competition.\n\n(We got some sort of reward, but I forget what it was.)

I used to teach three-year-olds. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but we would have instrument days (kids could bring them from home or we had some at the center) and we would take turns playing for each other, or we would have a parade through the halls, or take them outside (less noise!).  Also, everyone loves freeze dance.  Sometimes we'd just have a dancing party for 15 minutes or so (especially good on a rainy day when they can't get outside).  Another one that they liked was putting on a show. I would have them sit on the carpet, then let them come up one by one (or pick a partner or two if they were shy) and sing songs for everyone. Sometimes they would make up there own song, which was always funny, and we'd try to learn it.   If you are having a "music day" and you post it, most parents will be more than happy to bring in musical toys and games to share.

Assuming the kids are 3 to 5 years of age I suggest that you visit your local public library. In addition to borrowing books, they may have scheduled book readings, plays and children's movie viewings. You would be wise to call ahead to see what they offer and if they have other neighborhood  activity suggestions.  Chances are they will.

By teaching them something fun or something that they want to learn. This is how it is done in Kindergarten.\nFood, play, short poems (remember Seuss), Chinese things like chopsicks, noodles, mother, dad. Sing, color or draw but do not spend so much time that it will loose their attention. Take breaks for exercise.\n  See below for an interesting website.

My teacher had a great way of doing this. Tell your students to collect various household items and a few bags. Make sure each kid picks out two specific objects. When everyone returns, teach union and intersect using the kids' "sets".

How about some beanbag chairs and a small couch.  We also added a story time theatre with teired steps to maximize space for many students.  Plus if the children are young include some toy characters from the books and even artifacts from different countries.  Plus posters of famous faces promoting reading is a great addition.

Bring in items with shapes.....ice cream cone, cookie sheet, book, rubrics cube, etc.  Also, trace these shapes and have kids go on geometric shape hunt to try to find the shapes in school. \nFollow up with some type of worksheet.

If your like my teacher...\n\nyou can sit back and give everyone A's A-'s and A+'s on assignment at random and then tell the kids what to do and make sure they dont get out of hand for the hour or so\n\nAlthough... im not sure what goes on except for in class

get involved with the students and know them beyond the teacher/student relationship.  is there anything that they're dealing with at school?  perhaps a school event?  talk with them about things other than books and problems.  i don't know what grade level you're talking about and i'm not a teacher, just a student.  perhaps have activities that can show the students that it's not all about homework and tests.  how to do this?  not so sure.  but these are my suggestions.
