Games for the Library

Help me give my students board games to learn how to work together.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McManus's classroom raised $711

My Project

Having board games in my classroom will give my students the opportunity to learn how to play games that are not computer generated. Not that computers are not good for children, but learning how to interact in the right manner by playing a game is such a useful life skill. We sometimes forget that if children are playing by themselves on a computer, they’re not learning to interactive with each other. They learn tone and voices also. I look forward to having game day in the library with my students. I know that this will be beneficial for all of them.
