Bored in Class...Whether it's because you already understand the material being taught, or are off in your 'own little world', or the teacher is just plain BORING, you should still try and give the teacher the courtesy of your attention, (you could add to any discussion).

The educational option:

If a class is really boring and you still want to learn, read ahead in the textbook and take some notes. Draw pictures in your notebook about what the teacher is saying, or make up a crossword puzzle or word search using the vocabulary words in the lesson. So long as you are sitting quietly in your place and appear to be paying attention, most teachers will ignore the fact that you're not really "all there."

NOW if both the teacher and the lesson are boring, you have no choice but to resort to one of the options below (submitted by contributors):

Note-Some of these are ONLY PROVIDED FOR AMUSEMENT (and if attempted may lead to discipline)

  1. Try to develop psychic powers, then proceed to use them.
  2. Play tic-tac-toe with yourself and lose.

  16. Chew on your arm until someone else notices.
  17. Move to a different seat every three minutes.
  18. Think of ways to cheat at Trivial Pursuit.
  19. Shave your armpits, legs, face, etc.!
  20. Run across the room, tag someone and say "You're it.".
  21. Blow up a beach ball and toss it around.
  22. write a letter to your friend with the opposite writing hand (lefties- use right, righties use left)
  23. Announce to the class that you are God and that you are angry.
  24. Think of five hundred thousand new ways to use your shoes.

  70. Stare at your teacher and mentally undress her. Then mentally fantasize about having to stay after class with her. Now write a letter to Penthouse describing it as if it actually happened. Make sure you start the letter, "I never thought this would happen to me, but..."
  71. Raise your hand and ask if you may use the bathroom. When she says yes, remain silent while staring up at the ceiling, then after a few seconds say, "Thank you.".

There are several things to do in class, but how can you get bored? With a teacher teaching, with a goofball in your class, with a girl that is a tomboy doing spitballs at the teacher without her knowing is wide entertainment, unfortunately, not all of us have that. A great thing to do in class is pay attention and learn, that's the point of school you know.

Yes, school IS boring sometimes. But you should still listen to the teacher and do your work. In life, sometimes you are just going to have to suck it up. And if you pay attention in class it will REALLY help you out in real life. If your looking for something to do during recess, you can play with the sports equipment, and maybe even make up your own game. Or you can stay inside (if allowed) and go to the computer lab, library, or any other area your allowed to be in during recess. Or you can just chill with your friends.

So we suggest that in class you:

  • Pay Attention.
  • Focus on learning!
  • Realize that education is not your right, nor is it your punishment. It is to help you live well as an adult.
  • Keep redirecting your thoughts back to the lecture.
  • Learn to delay what you want. (Just like we all delay having to go to the bathroom.)
  • Make yourself a personal challenge: Really pay attention for 15 minutes! Look at the clock---now you have 1 minute to look around the room. Then pay attention for 15 minutes. Anything is endurable for 15 minutes.
  • Pay attention to when you ARE interested. Figure out what makes that interesting, and seek more of those opportunities.
  • Think about your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa when they were your age. How do you imagine they got through a class... practice the skills of patience and maturity.
  • Imagine how many hours your teacher had to go to classes, even boring classes! Then, give extra respect that your teacher did all that, just for the ability to teach you.
  • Pretend you already have straight A's, so it is very important to pay attention so you keep that GPA! (If you don't have A's, just by paying attention you will improve your grades!)
  • Hope that school will be over soon.
  • I enjoy singing or humming so quietly to myself so no one else can hear.

Otherwise, there are some devious ideas. However, these are ones apt to get you in big, big trouble!

  • Look around the room
  • Pass notes with a friend.
  • Make a funny joke appropriate for teachers and students, kind of like a class clown.
  • Do spitballs at the teacher when she/he is turned around.
  • Draw in a notebook.
  • Organize your desk.
  • Talk to a student nearby.
  • Play with some stuff in your desk.
  • Draw
  • Doodle
  • i have three holes in my paper I draw around them like putting an ice cream cone under it and stuff like that.
  • Sleep
  • Start dancing when the teacher is not in the room, and then keep doing it, even when you know that the teacher is coming.
  • Tell a friend to look at you and then look at him with a funny face or say something funny then he'll laugh. Then the teacher will hear and he will get detention.
  • Try Foot Tennis first you tap your foot and then your mate taps their foot straight after then you tap your foot again straight away and then you just keep on going and try not to get bored.
  • Think of at least 200 things to do at home.

You should read. It is hard to understand how you could be bored in a library. There you have access to everything that is known or dreamed. Plus bored is boring. If you get bored easily, it means you are not interesting.
