Put a box on your desk and tell the students if they have any thoughts, to write them down on a piece of paper WITHOUT A NAME and put it in the box. Once a week, look in the box for any good ideas.
Give feedback by posting on a bulletin board. Students can read anonymously.
This is a great way to begin getting students to take ownership of the classroom and to empower them. They’ll love you for listening!

For group work activities:
To discover students good at drawing/painting ask them to draw a man riding a horse,a school boy running to catch the bus,a family on a picnic…etc(it’s better to provide them with the materials needed)
Once you collect the task you design the winners and encourage them to be your visual aids designers.
You can encourage them to work on a project of visual aids catalogue useful for teachers as a reference album.
Students once encouraged can be cerative and helpful in the lesson plan making.
