Help me give my students collaborative STEM games and construction toys they'll love!

My Project

My kindergarteners are constantly delighted and surprised by their own discoveries and creations! They love to build and play games, and these activities are natural bridges to build an intuitive understanding of engineering and science foundations.

Classic games encourage strategy, perseverance and fine motor skills, along with developing STEM foundational concepts like weight, balance, tension, pressure, leverage, and stability.

Students also build their math skills and number sense through engaging games at their level.

Equally important are the social skills incorporated here, as these activities foster teamwork and bonding, and teach life skills like taking turns and problem solving. Kids work together to set up games or plan building projects, and they accomplish their goals in a way that satisfies the needs of their developing brains and nervous systems. In the most fun way possible, they learn the collaboration necessary for success in today’s workspace.
