I love to bake and baking would be a great activity to do in a classroom. It would be easy
to incorporate a math lesson with the measurements and would also make the lesson
very entertaining to the students.

Gardening is another hobby. Gardening could be an activity to use when teaching

science. The students could experience firsthand how plants grow.
