Chasing Calm and Gathering Games

Help me give my students items to allow them to calm their bodies so they can engage in games, both imaginary and cooperative!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lipscomb's classroom raised $303

My Project

So many children and adults, myself included, are able to concentrate so much better when their bodies are able to move while learning and waiting.

Calm strips allow children to get sensory input while they’re waiting their turn for these cooperative games!

Games are an amazing teaching resource, not just for preschool, but especially for preschool! Not only will these games allow my littles to work on problem solving, logical thinking, turn taking and strategy, but also how to work together on a goal. Cooperative games take the competition out of it, so they can focus on the skills at hand. We are so excited to add some new games to our game library!
