Posters
These are posters you might want to use in your classroom. They are A4 size PDF files but are actually designed to blow up to A3 size if your printer will print that big. (Adjust with “page set up” under the “file” menu.)
10 reasons to smile - This presents simple statements of ten of the benefits of smiling. There are four versions of the poster. The information is the same on each poster but the illustrations are different.
Health benefits of laughter. – This gives medical/physiological reasons that laughter is useful. Like the “reasons to smile” poster, there are four versions. These can be very useful if you are going to invite your classes to try “laughter yoga”. For more on that, visit www.laughteryoga.org. At that site, they have a link to many laughter yoga videos on youtube. Beth Agnew, a teacher in Canada, maintains a site called http://www.laughpractice.blogspot.com/. It also has many videos. One great thing about Beth Agnew’s videos is that she has a very, very infectious laugh – it gets things started brilliantly.
Please smile! You’re probably the only sunshine we’ll see today. I live in Japan where, during rainy season, we may not see the sun for a month. I use this poster then.
