Bring Back Board and Card Games

Help me give my students games to play with that allow them to enjoy each other's company without technology.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Arias's classroom raised $715

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

These board games would bring an abundant amount of joy to my students. Many of them have no idea what a board game is let alone have ever had the enjoyment of playing games like these with their friends.

On rainy days, fun Fridays, etc these games will be used and enjoyed by all!

So many students have never had the opportunity to play a card or board game with their friends, because unfortunately many do not have the privilege of extra money to purchase these types of items. In addition, so many parents and students are connected to technology that these games will take the technology out of the equation and allow for social interaction.
