Help me give my students some fun board games to play with partners to keep them off of their phones during free time in class!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Slipich's classroom raised $388

My Project
My students often want to pull out their phones or headphones during free time, effectively isolating themselves from the class. As a teacher, this is the exact opposite of the classroom culture that I want to cultivate. Instead, having a reserve of board games readily available for students could be a fun and interactive way to curb this habit! Being able to provide my students with a multitude of fun games to play with their friends or table mates would be a great way to keep students off of their phones and engaged in our classroom community!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
