Making Learning Fun

At any level of education, one of the biggest road blocks for teachers, and students, is to keep oneself motivated to learn.  Learning requires a majority of your daily energy, keeping your brain tuned in to new information is tough.  Thinking of my previous post about singing a book rather than reading it, is just one novel example of how to change things up and make learning a routine skill a little less routine.
Some other ideas come to mind when thinking about how to keep learning fun and motivating are:

-make it a competition or make a game out of it
-change your routine (instead of reading after dinner, read before bed with flashlights in the dark)
-make it creative
