Board Games for Christmas Presents!

Help me give my students board games as Christmas gifts to play with their families and help sharpen their math and reading skills. It also allows students and their families to have something to do together.

My Project

Each year I like to be able to send my students home with a board game and Christmas to enjoy with their families over the break. have done this the last two years and the students really enjoy getting the games. It helps give families activities to do together. It also helps students with different math, reading, and problem solving skills in a way that is exciting for them. My goal for this project is to give my students something to do other than watch tv or play video games. I have asked my classes before if they play any board games with their families and was shocked at how many of them said they don’t, so I am hoping to change that.
