Let's Give Our Brains a Break!

Funded Aug 9, 2022

I cannot thank you enough for helping to fund my project! My students were so excited to see all of the new board games that we received. In the past, I have had games that were given to me by previous teachers. These were missing some of their pieces or their instructions, so no one could really enjoy them or play them.

We are using the games for when we have inside recess or whenever they need to just take a break from lessons for the day. My students really need practice with communication skills and working together cooperatively without incidents or arguing. These games are the perfect way of letting them do that while also strengthening their problem-solving skills.

My hope is that they will be able to take these same skills and apply them to situations in their real life. They need to know that problems are more likely to be solved by reacting calmly and thinking through all of the possible solutions instead of just have rash reactions.”
