My Project

My goal is to bring fun and engaging inside recess games to my students. I would like to be able to have my students experience playing board games with friends and staff. Many of my students have never played board games or CVC games at home. Lots of my students don't have the experience of playing games with their families or friends, so I would like to bring this fun experience into my classroom.

Often students get bored during recess, because my classroom doesn't have many indoor recess games.

Students will love to play board games with their friends and will be more excited about indoor recess!!
