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

My students are awesome and work hard everyday in the classroom. That being said we all need a break in the day from our learning. Help me give my students board games and card games for them to play with their peers during our instructional breaks and recess.

Board games and card games allow students to play with their peers while building skills in communication, team work and fair play.

Most of my students only play games on a computer. Giving them different board and card games will let them play games IRL (in real life). Playing board games and card games during instructional breaks help them build those important social skills that they don't get when playing games on a computer.

Help me give my students these games to play, have fun, and build social skill during their instructional breaks!
