In today’s world, life has become so busy that we hardly have time to relax and enjoy the time we have on this earth that God has given us. We teachers are so stressed due to the frantic work schedule, specifically with multi-grade classes, that we have forgotten to take time to relax and laugh. Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart is like a medicine.”
Jokes play a vital role to soothe our hearts. There are many benefits to our body and mind by laughing and sharing funny jokes.
Benefits to our body- Laughter has a positive impact on our bodies. When we laugh, we boost the human immune system by increasing antibodies to fight infection. It helps in blood circulation and increases endorphins released by the brain. Endorphins help in reducing pain.
Benefits to our mind - We not only lighten our spirits by laughing, but humor dissolves our anger, depression, tension, and stress. It makes us feel lighter and less irritated. It helps our moods.
Someone said, “Jokes sharpen our sensibilities and tune our capabilities. It brings out the better person and the brighter side of your life.” Humor allows people without any hesitation to express their feelings. But the most important part is before you share your joke, make sure you do not insult anyone or hurt someone's feelings. Jokes and humor make our surroundings lighter. When you share a good joke, it makes the surroundings happier. As a multi-grade teacher, a joke to the class once in a while will lighten up the class. Here are some jokes you can share and lighten up your class.
