Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

It is about that time of year when it becomes too cold to go outside for recess. I would love for my scholars to have the opportunity to learn how to play different games and learn how to have good sportsmanship instead of getting on their Chromebooks during this time. Although I love technology and using it in my lessons, I want my scholars to learn how to communicate and play without a screen. Help me give my students games for indoor recess! I want my students to play board games like Melissa & Doug Suspend Family Game, Spot It! Classic Card Game, and Guess Who?.

Help us create a fun indoor recess experience by allowing us to have multiple games to choose from!

We currently only have Jenga and blocks to play with when it is raining outside.
