Learning Life Skills One Game at a Time

Help me give my students a fun and engaging Social Skills Board Game Center where they can build confidence, friendships, and essential life skills.

My Project

After spending the past few years as an itinerant teacher, I am excited to return to a classroom of my own. My new EC Resource classroom will be a safe, welcoming space where young learners can build confidence, practice new skills, and celebrate every success. My students are incredible because they work hard every day to overcome challenges and make meaningful progress, no matter how big or small the step.

My goal is to create a Social Skills Board Game Center where learning feels fun and meaningful.

Through hands-on games and cooperative play, students will strengthen important social-emotional skills like taking turns, solving problems, managing emotions, communicating with others, and showing kindness, fairness, resilience, and determination. These skills will help them succeed not only in school but throughout their lives.

Your support will provide engaging games and materials that encourage conversation, teamwork, and positive interactions in a low-pressure environment. Every game played is another opportunity for my students to practice real-life skills, build friendships, and grow into confident, capable learners. Thank you for helping create a classroom where every child feels valued, included, and empowered to succeed.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
