From Bored to Board: Indoor Recess Reinvented

Help me give my students board and card games for indoor recess days.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $194

This project is fully funded

My Project

Indoor recess doesn't have to mean lost playtime or bored students. With this project, our classroom will be stocked with a variety of engaging board games that encourage creativity, teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving. These games will transform rainy days and cold-weather recess into meaningful opportunities for social interaction and cooperative play. Board games also help students build communication skills, practice taking turns, and learn how to win and lose gracefully. With your support, we can create a fun, inclusive indoor recess experience that keeps our students learning and laughing—no matter the weather!
