Encouraging PLAY and TEAMWORK!

Help me give my students an opportunity for play and teamwork! Working with students with cognitive disabilities in high school, having them learn to work together is imperative, and a fun way like LEGO is awesome!

My Project

This year, my school is focusing on students not being on their phones as much. Having these LEGO sets will not only encourage them to have fun away from the screen, but will also encourage working together to solve a problem in a fun way. Since COVID, students have relied on their phone too much - this is a way to give them back a fun and simple way to have fun without staring at a screen for hours on end. This will also encourage students to ask adults for help, and for adults to interact with students in a positive way. Also, who doesn't love LEGO?!
