Gaming To Be Great

Help me give my students new games to play during our after-school game club.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. LaBar's classroom raised $162

My Project

My students work hard all day in school, and we run a game club after school to keep our kids safe. We started with ten students, and in three weeks we are at 50 kids. While this is great, we don’t have enough activities to keep all our kids actively busy during the four days we meet. My kids said some new games would be the best for the systems we have. Some games allow up to four players, so we could keep a number of students active at the same time. Yoshi, Pac Man and Sonic would allow multiple players and are on our most asked-for list. If the kids are with me after school they aren’t on the streets getting in trouble or being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Kids who play video games are great problem solvers and have great hand-eye coordination.

We need the requested Switch games to encourage team games and working together.
