My Project

My classroom is located in sunny and hot Southern California, where the weather is often too hot to go outside for physical education. I would like to provide my students with games that we adults grew up with, for those days that we can't do P.E.

I want to encourage critical thinking, strategizing, and social skills through classic games.

Ever since Covid, students are constantly attached to their devices. I would love to introduce my students to the games that were popular when I was young, and get them socially engaged when we cannot head outside for physical activity.
