	Using, finding and making teaching and learning aids

	The challenge
	Resources or teaching aids such as pictures, newspapers and real objects can make the teaching and learning processes more interesting and memorable.
	"With teaching aids, you see and touch. And you are able to understand better - instead of just listening to the teacher." Victoria Sakaidoo, teacher, Ghana

	Some solutions
	Use what you have around you: make science equipment from household items, and use newspapers for a grammar exercise.
	"If you want to teach metals, bring your home utensils like saucepans, pots, and others to bring real life situations into the class." Evelynn Penyenn, teacher, Ghana

	What teachers have said
	Use the natural environment inside and outside the classroom.
	"I took my children outside to see the flowers then drew them on the chalkboard so that children can understand easily." Mrs. Gupta, teacher, India
