My Project

My student need games that challenge their minds while forcing them to regulate their bodies and focus their thinking.

Children need activities that challenge them to focus their thinking, engage their mind in the use of strategies, make them laugh and engage with others.

Help give my students a variety of hands on game and activities to make indoor recess and break times fun, a learning experiences and an opportunity to challenge their thinking. The puzzles will provide students endless opportunities for building, designing and creating tangrams, the card and board games help with executive functioning, turn taking, following directions, peer to peer relationships and sportsmanship in real world scenarios children often struggle with. We know these game will be loved because my students are already obssessed with the one Spot It deck I have and request it during break times each day and as a reward for meeting goals.
