Are you brave enough to speak up in class and participate actively? There are many ways to get involved, like when the teacher asks for your opinion, if you have a question about a topic, or when you need to read your homework aloud. It's normal to feel scared sometimes because you might think you’ll say something wrong or that other kids might laugh at you. But don’t worry, we have tips to help you overcome your fear and join in the class.

How it works

Start small: Try to speak up first on topics you feel comfortable with. The more you participate, the easier it will be to join in on tougher subjects.
Mistakes are okay: Remember that everyone makes mistakes and you can learn from them. Your teachers are there to help you and explain what’s right.
Practice at home: Talk to your parents or siblings about what you learned in class. This will help you prepare for speaking up in class and build your confidence.
Take a deep breath: If you feel scared to speak up, take a deep breath and count to three. This will help you calm down and overcome your fear.
Listen carefully: If you listen well in class, it will be easier to join the conversation and ask questions. Pay attention to what your teachers say and try to understand what you’ve learned.
Ask for help: If you’re scared to speak up, talk to your parents or teachers about it. They can help you and encourage you.
Be proud of yourself when you dare to participate actively in class. Every time you speak up, it gets easier, and you will become more confident. Your mission: Be brave, participate daily in class, and discover what you can achieve when you dare!
