It's A Fine Day for A Game

Help me give my students games to help them with their fine motor skills and social interaction!

This project is fully funded

My Students

I am an academic life skills (ALS) teacher at a Title 1 school in Howard County, Maryland. My students span grade levels, however, the majority of them are in the intermediate grades. At the end of each day, we have a social group where we play games, color, or work together on a project each day.

My Project

Every child deserves the opportunity to have fun learning with their peers. Each of my students has multiple needs. Some of my students use a device to communicate, others need assistance to access the world around them. These games will provide meaningful opportunities for my kids to practice communicating, interacting, and develop their fine motor skills.

With these games, my students will learn to communicate with each other, develop fine motor skills, and have fun practicing their social interaction skills.

With more accessible games, my students will be more encouraged to engage with their peers and enjoy the freedom of choosing what to play with each other. This project will help my students be able to say, in their own way, that they had a fun time learning at school today.
