Board Games Used to Inspire Teamwork, Creativity, Collobration and Laughter

My Project

I would love to allow my students to take a break from technology and allow them to experience hands on learning, collaboration, team work, increase fine motor skills, communication, and creativity, through board games such as Connect Four, Checkers, Scrabble, Battle Ship, and Life.

My goal is to increase their critical thinking skills through hands on learning while preparing them to productive citizens by sharpening their problem-solving skills through team-work and collobration.

My 25 students are a wonderful group of kids. They are very appreciative and they work extremely hard. I work in a Title I District. Through our district, we qualify for 100% free meals. I am a believer that eventhough many of my students come from low income environments, their family's income will not determine their future outcome. I am reaching out because I want to plant the seed to be a part of a positive change.
