My Project

Technology has taken over our kids' lives. I want to introduce my students to fun board games that they can learn and play with their classmates. Board games help with a child's development and growth. Our fifth grade students have just begun to learn the skills behind the game of chess. Now, we need chess boards to give everyone a chance to play in pairs.

These games will give my students an opportunity to further their learning and gain social and communication skills, while significantly improving children's visual memory, attention span, and spatial-reasoning ability.

The board games will help develop their mind and develop social skills among my students, while learning thinking skills. Yes, with your help our students will play chess.
