Help me give my students some playtime in the library. Adding these games and activities will help students interact with one another while taking part in fun, oversized games.
Our middle school library serves more than 700 students. Our student population is highly inquisitive, energetic, and motivated to direct their own inquiry-based learning through the exploration of library resources. Our school has an incredible group of students from a richly diverse range of backgrounds. Unfortunately, high poverty is part of the daily experience for most of these learners.
Our wonderful students deserve to have every advantage of access to new books in which they can see themselves and look into other perspectives through books that feature characters different from them.
This year, we are focusing on closing the achievement gap and creating a school full of confident, successful students.
My Project
Students need some activities in the library. Adding these games will help students interact with one another while taking part in fun oversized games.
Giant Jenga, Giant Uno, and Giant Connect 4 and puzzles will bring fun interaction during the day in the library.
These activities will give my students the opportunity to engage in an organized game with each other while building back their social skills lost during the pandemic. Creating a safe space in my library also requires some playtime and my middle schoolers will love the addition of having giant playing cards.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
