What makes people happy?

This is an age-old question that humans have been desperately trying to answer ... but I think I have found it! Well... maybe not me - Matt Harding!

Matt Harding has been travelling the world dancing - and might I say dancing very badly! But no matter where he is in the world - people dance with him. And every single one of those people are smiling - big happy smiles :-).

So maybe dancing is the key to happiness. Matt's video below - where the hell is Matt 2008? is a great video to show your classes. I guarantee every single student will be smiling by the end of it. Its a great way to break the ice with a new group of students and you can definitely use it to explore the concept of happiness.

So check it out below... and once you have why not share with us what makes you happy?

Hmmm ... good question: Lets see - a great coffee makes me happy (I think it's the caffeine), a day in the garden, a great sunset, good times with great friends ..... the list is endless!
