Online classes have been a downfall of many. This had Teachers scratching their heads and students staring at the screen confused. The daily schedule of continuous online classes was draining for both the students and the teachers. during school hours students used to mingle with other peers and play on the grounds to lighten the bearing pressure of studies. Whereas in online classes none of that is available, making it extremely boring.

To make online classes interesting fun activities like numerical games or bran games can be incorporated for the junior students. Senior students can be called up for debates and challenged for chess or sudoku. Regular sessions of teacher-to-student counseling can also be helpful to motivate students to perform well.

Some tips that can be applied are-
1. Students can be taught via 3D cartoons and animations to make learning more colorful and playful.
