My Project

Students have requested some games during Fun Friday so that they can explore how different board/hands-on games work. I noticed that fewer kids having strong logical and reasoning skills. For this reason, I am creating Thinking Fun Friday. On this day, students will have a choice of games that require them to think logically and strategically while having fun. They will get extra practice with social skills like turn taking and working with a group.

Over time, my students will develop more strategies for different types of games.

Students can learn from each other to improve their critical thinking skills and communication skills through board/hands-on games. Please help me giving my students games and containers/tray to organize them in an easy way.
