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
I first surprised my students with chess and checkers. Their enthusiasm and interest was astounding, so I thought there might be interest in a board game club.
I approached my cousin, who is a big gamer and has a strategy board game blog, and had him customize an age appropriate list for my students that would be educational and strategy based.
From this list, I picked the top games that could be played within a class period and not take days like the board games of my childhood. For example, I picked "Carcassonne" as it requires players to build a countryside full of cities, roads, and fields while strategically blocking your opponents and trying to score points. It's really simple to learn but the strategy is crazy. I'm excited to introduce these games to my students and be the faculty sponsor of the inaugural Board Game Club.
We have a flex period at the end of the day for kids to pursue whatever they like! I want to make a space and time for kids to learn and enjoy strategy board games. In order to do that, we need the supplies!
