My Project

I have found that games are one of the easiest ways to get students excited about learning. The games in this project will help my students practice concepts such as multiplication, fractions, story retelling, and reading comprehension!

In a world full of screens, I value time where my students can collaborate and discuss their learning through screen-less activities.

Physical games foster conversation about concepts and provide opportunities for reflection in real time! Not to mention they are amazing for multi-language learners!

Additionally, my students work very hard throughout the year to master their multiplication facts! Games are a great way to motivate them to practice these skills, and it keeps them interested much longer than any worksheet or textbook!
