Growth Through Gaming

Help me give my students board games to offer opportunities for early learning. Playing stimulates brain areas that are responsible for memory formation and complex thought processes for all ages.

My Project

I want to give my scholars board games to engage with their peers and assist in practicing essential cognitive skills, such as decision making, higher level strategic thinking, and problem solving.

Playing stimulates brain areas that are responsible for memory formation and complex thought processes for all ages.

The board games will also allow the students to learn how to win and how to lose; something they struggle with often. They will be able to practice social skills in a fun environment without realizing they are learning.

I can't wait to have even more fun with my students using these games!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
