Between lessons and assignments, a little fun can go a long way and Mnr VanderBerg proves just that by sharing light-hearted classroom moments with his learners.
George, South Africa (03 February 2026) – School doesn’t always have to be all about sitting in class, tests and ticking boxes. Sometimes it’s about letting loose and having a laugh with the very same people who usually keep things in check.
That’s exactly what happened when teacher and digital creator, Mnr.VanderBerg, shared a video of himself playing a hilarious pose-copying game with his students. He describes himself as an ordinary guy with an extraordinary passion for teaching and helping people grow and one can clearly tell that he is no stranger to sharing moments from school to everyday online. His content often reflects the everyday realities of being a teacher offering a glimpse into the creativity that shape the classroom.
In the video that now has over two million views, learners strike a pose, and he has to mimic it, perfectly (or as perfectly as possible). You can just hear endless giggles through the classroom as the students watch him attempt those poses.
The clip highlights fun being had in a classroom, but most importantly the bond between teacher and students. Beyond his work as an educator, he uses his platform to celebrate creativity, engagement, and the joy of learning. Moments like these remind everyone that school can be a place where laughter and learning can go hand in hand.
It is clear that Mnr. VanderBerg is known for finding humour in everyday school life. With the academic year still getting underway, many schools are hosting inter-athletics events, where different grades compete in track and field. Instead of treating it as just another school fixture, he turned the occasion into a playful video, poking fun at the energy, competitiveness and excitement that come with the day.
Mnr. VanderBerg’s videos highlight the joy that comes from engaging with students in fun and unexpected ways.
