The interviewer would like to get to know you apart from what is written on your resume. You are certainly not obligated to discuss personal matters such as your kids or relationship status, for instance. Stick with a couple of fun facts to show the interviewer that you are a real person, too. Your answer should be unique so that you are a memorable candidate!
Focus on special non-work-related skills or hobbies. For example, you might share that you enjoy beat-boxing or making origami swans. Be prepared for the interviewer to stop you and ask you to perform your skill on the spot when it's possible! (This will make you unforgettable!)

Before I went to graduate school, I taught Judaism and Hebrew language in a private after-school program. I created fun individual and small group activities and games to help my students to learn information, practice their skills, and demonstrate their grasp of knowledge and skills by playing games for which I evaluated them individually.
Marcie's Feedback
This is a good tidbit to share about yourself because it connects to the role (emphasizing your love of teaching). Remember that you'll want to convey to the interviewer what this experience tells them about you. That you're passionate about teaching using a fun approach? Whatever it is, be sure to deliver it in a simplified and impactful way that accurately describes you.
Prepare for questions about personalized learning approaches and teaching adaptability.
