My Project

This project will provide a variety of board games for my third-grade classroom, creating opportunities for students to play, collaborate, and connect with their peers during indoor recess, especially on cold winter days.

These games will encourage students to take a break from screens, learn new games, and practice important social skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

By offering a range of games, we aim to create an inclusive and equal setting where every student has the chance to engage, have fun, and build lasting friendships. Your support will help us create meaningful, screen-free recess experiences!
