I am requesting a variety of tabletop games for students to enjoy during our weekly meetings. We already have a few games that were generously donated to use: Settlers of Catan, Dominion, Pandemic, Scrabble, Fluxx, and a couple chess sets. My students enjoy these games and I want to expand our collection of games. Many of these games will be new to students, so they will have to use their reading skills as they learn to play the games. They will also have to practice critical thinking skills as they use strategy to win the game. In some of the games, students will have to work together as a team in order to succeed. These games were specifically chosen for the intensity of critical thinking they require, and for their replay-ability. This will allow the same games again and again, never experiencing the exact same variation. The games will also provide social opportunities for students who have never interacted with one another or have difficulty interacting with large groups. As students play games together and develop friendships, this will allow them to create strong bonds with one another and a more unified student body.
