My Project

As we continue to plan more events for our students this year of returning to normalcy, why not give them bigger and better games? Many of our events are to give students the opportunity to engage with one another, and peers outside of their own classrooms.

With the jumbo-sized games, students can have jumbo-sized fun!

They can go from station to station and learn/play classic games in the great outdoors. We have various events planned for our students, such as fundraisers for animal shelters, graduation events, and field days. Not only will each game be used in events, but they can also even be lent out to teachers and students in various classrooms or clubs. For example, oversized 4 in a row can even be used in the classroom as a center game since pieces are large enough to have items written onto them,

It's time to bring on the jumbo-sized fun!
