Board Games to Build Social Skills

Help me give my students board games to practice positive social interactions. Playing board games allows students to learn social emotional skills such as teamwork and conflict resolution.

My Project

My students work hard, and they earn time to socialize. I want to give them board games to practice positive social interactions. "The present findings showed that, as a tool, board games can be expected to improve the understanding of knowledge, enhance interpersonal interactions among participants, and increase the motivation of participants" (Noda, et al, 2019).

Young people need the opportunity to practice positive social skills in a setting where adults can guide them and provide feedback.

My students love playing games and enjoy socializing with each other. Please help me give them fun board games to play and practice their skills.
