My Project

I am requesting different and diverse board games to support my students' emotional and academic skills. Playing games is not only fun, but it can have many positive impacts on teenage students. Games can help improve cognitive abilities, social and emotional skills, and even help increase attention and focus abilities. Our library has some great games that have been used intensely by our students during lunch time, and it is time to replace some of them for newer ones. Let’s turn OFF the devices and get back to old school board games!
