Play Can Help Strengthen Communication and Social Skills

Funded Oct 8, 2024

Since receiving the items that were requested, my students were visibly shocked to see that there was a new creative play area that was actually for them to play in. They were beyond excited! As a school counselor, this experience allowed me to teach an important lesson about generosity and giving to others. The students were so grateful and a bit surprised that this project was supported by people who didn't know them but believed in them. Thank you!

My students are learning invaluable lessons. They are using their imaginations, taking turns (sharing) while playing, as well as improving their communication (talking & listening to one another). Through play, my students are becoming comfortable interacting with their peers and learning to work cooperatively. They are working on & strengthening these skills that will help them in elementary school and in their future.”
