My Project

I am a School Counselor. I often counsel students about their social and emotiinal needs while we play games. The games make them feel comfortable while talking about issues they might be comfortable talking about. I need some new various games that will appeal to my students.

Students also feel more comfortable talking when they have something to play with in their hands.

I need new fidget toys they love to play with because mine are getting old and have broken or gotten worn out. This will be very helpful in my meetings with students who are struggling socially and academically. Thank you!
