My Project

Middle Schoolers spend most of their waking hours in front of a screen. My students love playing games because they are FUN. Let's bring board games back with creativity focused games in the art classroom!

By playing artful board games my students will have fun bonding experiences while practicing creativity.

By donating to this project, you will bring joy, creativity, and learning together through games! This collection of creative board and card games will bridge connections between art-making, creative thinking, social-emotional learning, and fun!

My students are excited to play games because they know they will have fun. I know my students will practice critical thinking, creative problem solving, social-emotional skills and so much more with these games. Let's play!
