My Project

"What do I do when I'm done?" is a common question throughout the school day for every teacher. Instead of piling on busy work or having students on laptops, I say, "Play a game!"

Our middle school is implementing a locking pouch system for student cell phones this year, and we need high engagement activities that build on student's connection with one another in healthy, pro-social ways.

Games and puzzles are a wonderful choice in the middle school art room after assignments are done. Games give students an opportunity to come together in small groups and inadvertently work on community building and social emotional skills that students desperately need.

Grades 6-8
