My Project

Remember when you were a kid and the teacher dusted off the old games in the cabinet? The students cheered as they knew that they were taking a break from school. Little did they know, they would be building community while having fun at the same time. Building community in the classroom is one of the most important things a teacher can do.

Taking well earned breaks by playing games will help foster a strong classroom community.

School can be stressful for many students and this stress can deeply impact their educational experience. One way students can deal with stress and be themselves at school is to play games with their peers. Games will give students opportunities to build relationships and relax during a stressful period. Please help our project to deliver a game playing experience they deserve.
