Relationship Building with Games

Help me give my students a more welcoming environment at school. I'm trying to encourage face-to-face cooperative learning and use board games as an opportunity to build relationships.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Knapp's classroom raised $881

My Project

My students are great people. They lack social skills as many do due to being taught behind a computer for over a year. Rather than add additional work or allow students to do something unacademic, I'm trying to get a set of board games for students to play with each other. This will help foster social-emotional skills as well as team building. Your donation will help to foster the education experience of many children beyond the academic realm. All donations are greatly appreciated. My students would benefit tremendously. Thank You.
