Use folding chairs, if you have them, and set them up in rows. For desks, you can use little stools. You can also just use chairs. Pick the front of the classroom and put a big piece of paper on the wall, like the a chalk board. Use markers to write on the paper instead of chalk.

Also, pick a subject! Do you want to teach math? Science? English? Pick a specific subject that will be fun and plan a lesson.
Put each student in a separate chair in the classroom. You can assign seats, or let students choose their own. You could even put name tags on each desk, or have the students make them. Take your place at the front of the classroom and tell everyone to quiet down, because school is about to start.
You could even do a fun activity, like having the students “dissect” different stuffed animals and talk about what they find, if you want to have a science class. This could be a fun way to spend school time.
If you’re teaching English class, you could say, “Write about what you did this weekend in a timed writing!” and then have everyone read it out.
Turn the questions into a game. Ask all your students, “What’s 132 minus 17?” and let them figure it out fast. Whoever gets the answer right quickest gets a candy. Some teachers like to play bingo to get students involved. That could be a good way to play, as well.
Ask a math problem, or give them a silly prompt to draw something. Tell all the students that whoever can draw the best brontosaurus gets a gummy worm.
Have lots of different roles at your school that you can switch between. Have one person be a student, one person be a teacher, and one person be a principal, or detention person. Take turns between all of them.
If your mom has a funny old dress that she wouldn’t mind you playing with, that could be perfect for a teacher costume. Ask if you can get one at a second-hand store, if you don’t have one, for a costume. Male teachers should wear ties and glasses. Suspenders if possible.
If you all have the same teacher, you could always just do an impression of the things that your teacher says. Try to learn some big words to use when you’re playing teacher, since teachers are always trying to teach. “Well isn’t that odiferous?” you could say, when something stinks.
Or, you could always have your desk really messy, if your teacher has a really messy one. That could be a funny way to make school fun.
Most of your friends will probably want to goof off in your classroom. That’s fine. It’s all in good fun. Assign one person to be the detention monitor, and have fun!
