My Project

I am requesting several fun and educational games for my middle school students to play at lunch such as a Monopoly board game, several Magna Tiles kits and a set of Uno cards.

Many of my middle school students are working on their social skills and choose to play games at lunch time.

Playing games with a small group of students is a good way for students to interact with each other and build their confidence and social skills. They look forward to playing games but we need a variety of games for them to play with at lunch.
