Help me give my students a chance to practice social skills through games that will help with anxiety management, communication and problem solving skills which have been significantly damaged from Covid.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are lacking many skills needed when moving from 8th to 9th grade. Many suffer from poor social skills and lack confidence in using skills they learned pre-pandemic. With the help of playing games such as Connect 4, students will learn to problem solve. Taboo will students expand their vocabulary. Phase Ten will induce patience and help with sequencing used in Math and English Language Arts.
Playing is the key!
We are living in a digital age. Children need to learn how to entertain themselves without technology and with people in person they may not know. Students are affirmed and validated mainly through social media which makes my classroom difficult to navigate. My students struggle to communicate appropriately, lack stamina, and have short attention spans which can be reversed through healthy play.
The goal is to increase student confidence enabling students to take healthy risks in class. If they leave 8th grade having improved these skills they will enter high school better prepared to try new things, communicate their needs and make new friends. This project is focusing on going back to the basics.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
