Learning Through Play!

Help me give my students the social-emotional and turn-taking skills they need with games to provide them with the opportunity to practice reading and math skills without yet being able to read and, therefore, building independence!

My Project

Kindergarten has become a very academic world. The push for academics is real and I believe that children need to play! My goal is to provide an opportunity to play and build student academic and social-emotional skills while playing!

Let kids play!

These games will allow students to learn academic and turn-taking skills through play; and they don't have to be able to read the directions! We will need multiple sets of each game so that we can all play the same game for learning the rules and helping with differentiation before having them play independently!
