Help me give my students board games and the development of social, emotional, and cognitive skills, as well as the opportunity for bonding with classmates and learning through play!

My Project
It’s just a game but it is so much more for our littlest learners!
By giving my class a variety of board games to be introduced to throughout the school year will encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and strategy building, while also promoting important social skills like patience, turn-taking, communication, and cooperation.
Board games can also reinforce academic skills in a fun and engaging way. All of the games that would be gifted to my class will encourage learning though play while working on so many skills that you need to use as a human in this world.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
