Socializing Through Games

Help me give my students some new board games to help improve social skills in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McIlroy's classroom raised $185

My Project

I love that my students want to try new things. They are special because they are ready to jump in and take charge in a variety of situations.

This year I would like to add some board games to my classroom routine because teaching students to play games without the computer is a great way to promote "Social Emotional Well-being ," while encouraging team building skills.

Most importantly, these games will give students an opportunity to build leadership skills, time to socialize, laugh, and opportunities to make new friends.
