My Project

My afterschool students are truly amazing. They are so happy to have extra time to engage with each other in a safe environment. Playing games is a great way to have fun and learn at the same time.

"Do you know what my favorite part of the game is The opportunity to play,"-Mike Singletary.

I have requested board/card games such as Wooden Shut the Box, and Taco vs Burrito is both fun and engaging but also appropriate for the young audience that I teach. Children now spend so much time on screens and I want to bring back the feeling I experienced on family game night growing up.
