Learn Strategy through Board Games

Help me give my students board games which help them maximize their strategy skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Snethen's classroom raised $395

My Project

My students are very hands-on or tactile. When given the opportunity, they are able to think logically and excel at games of strategy. With these amazing board games, my students' minds will become engaged, and they will gain a phenomenal skill set.

Many of my students already play chess but have not been introduced yet to other board games of strategy.

Some of the games, you are helping to provide them with, will have a direct correlation to the courses I teach such as marine biology and paleontology.

I definitely look forward to interacting with my students as they learn how to play these games. We may even have enough interest to have a side tournament of these strategic board games going on during our home chess invitationals.
