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

After six weeks of group counseling focused on building social skills and emotional regulation, our students have made incredible strides in their personal growth. To celebrate their hard work and progress, we want to provide them with a fun, engaging way to wrap up their journey—through games that encourage teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

These games will not only serve as a well-deserved reward but will also allow students to continue practicing the social skills and emotional regulation techniques they've learned during counseling.

Whether it's cooperative board games, brain teasers, or creative challenges, these activities will help reinforce the valuable lessons they’ve gained while also giving them a chance to bond and have fun together.
