Face-To-Face Interaction and Fun

Help me give my students games for face-to-face interaction and screen-free fun in the classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carte's classroom raised $168

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school district is implementing a new policy that bans cell phone use in the classroom, and while we support limiting screen time, we want to make sure our students still have ways to engage and enjoy their downtime in meaningful ways.

I am asking for donations of card and board games to give students something fun and interactive to do during extra time after quizzes, tests, or free periods.

Our goal is to create a classroom culture that encourages face-to-face connection, conversation, and creativity instead of silent scrolling. Games like UNO, Connect 4, Trouble, and Rummikub are not only fun but also promote strategic thinking, teamwork, and laughter—all things we love to see in the classroom.

If you could help build our game stash, we’d be incredibly grateful. Help us turn screen-free time into something students look forward to! Thank you for supporting connection over clicks!
