Cell-Phone-Free Lunch Fun

Help me give my students something to do during their lunch breaks now that cell phones are banned on campus.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Alexander's classroom raised $395

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our state recently banned cell phones in all public schools. Our school now has a zero tolerance policy for phones. That means, our kids have had to get creative to entertain themselves at lunch. A couple of them started bringing games to school and my principal thinks that's a great idea!

We're asking for quick and easy games to help our kids relearn how to play and communicate with others without the use of technology!

By providing these games, our kids can learn to have fun without staring at a screen!
