Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I created a Board Game club for our middle school. It is my plan that students learn the ins and outs of board games and then design their own.

My modern students aren't accustomed to playing games.

First we will learn some of the basic components of games and then we will start to design our own. We will use strategy, dice, and global knowledge to create games and play against our own classmates. The ultimate knowledge of games will be when we create, design, and test out our own creations.

My students have specifically picked this club to play games and design their own to build and play.
