Help me give my students board games like Candyland and Chutes and Ladders to play at indoor recess. I also want to give them Magnetic Building Tiles and a Play Food Set for creative play.
My students from Cleveland, Ohio are from very diverse backgrounds. Many students are learning English as a second language. All of them are learning how to communicate effectively and get along with their peers.
More than 3/4 of my students are on the free and reduced lunch program at school.
They live in an economically disadvantaged area of Cleveland. I want my classroom to be a safe place for them to play and learn. Most importantly I want them to learn to get along with their peers.
My Project
Do you remember playing Chutes and Ladders or Candyland with your kids when they were little? Playing board games when they are young is a great example of how kids learn to take turns, share and learn how to be a good sport when it comes to winning and losing. So many valuable lessons to be learned through games.
Many of my students come to 2nd grade sadly without ever having the opportunity to play these classic board games.
I want to provide these games along with some classic card games like Go Fish, magnetic building tiles and a play food set so they can use their imagination and create some masterpieces during indoor recess. In Cleveland, most of the winter months are spent indoor due to the extreme cold. Having a variety of indoor games and activities makes indoor recess a little more exciting for them.
We usually spend a good portion of the day at the beginning of the school year learning how to play Candyland and Chutes and Ladders. Once the students learn the rules they can't wait to play!
