Celebrate 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

The board games will give students a chance to take a break once in a while. We tackle a lot of work from day to day, so students are typically under a great deal of stress, with assignment completion, and keeping track of all of their tasks.

Taking a game day, where they can remove their focus from the stress of work, and have some fun with their fellow students is the sort of break that may allow them to re-charge in a way that makes them more energized to return to the grind the next day.

Also, even though board games are fun, and help students decompress they also put students in a position to use their critical thinking skills. Having them take a break, but also do some thinking is the perfect activity for them.
