My Project

For this project, I have chosen several interactive games that my students will enjoy in the classroom. This is my way to get students to interact and engage with one another during free time. Interactive board games are an engaging way to introduce and support social skills development. Due to the pandemic, students were not able to socialize in person with their peers. Providing my students with game boards is a great way for them to collaborate, connect and have fun with one another. As a teacher, I am always looking for classroom materials to help support my kiddos. All donations are greatly appreciated.
