My Project

The majority of my students are more comfortable interacting with screens than talking to each other. I’ve lost count of how many students have complained to me that they don’t like socializing and/or talking to other students during a class activity. They know how to play video games and respond electronically to electronic prompts and stimulation, but most of my students do not know how to play classic board games. I would like to give my students an opportunity to learn how to play classic board games in a way that promotes social Interaction and builds social skills in a low stakes setting.

Playing board games is a simple way for young people to get quality, screen-free time with others.

Some benefits of board games include building communication skills. Board games can help children with special needs. Board games teach children how to follow instructions. Board games help children learn to fail. Board games create healthy competition. Board games help children understand how others think. These are just a few benefits of playing board games. I would like to give my students an opportunity to strengthen these skills and enjoy learning at the same time with UNO, Jenga, Connect 4, word, and card games like Uno.
