Engaging activities should include participation from students either verbally or physically (competition or discussion). Additionally, engagement should include some form of critical thinking. Thinking critically for the activity may be connecting content to a subject unrelated to school (like their favorite holiday, candy) to make an analogy or collect people's attention. Engaging activities require effort from students and teacher to either communicate or qualify content.

The qualities of an engaging activity include involving all students no matter their learning style and knowledge levels, and one that confronts unit and class goals. An interactive activity includes many iterations and technology when it is appropriate and necessary. Pick an idea or activity you know you're students will appreciate and enjoy. Perhaps something related to the subject/goal, but a topic in their lives they can connect to and discuss.
