Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

While we don't play games often enough, I would like to have some games on hand for when my students earn some game time play. I need games that don't need a lot of directions to learn, can be played in short amounts of time, and also encourage critical skills.

I am in need of more STEM board games that promote problem solving, spatial awareness, and motor manipulation skill training.

My students love games and it is a great way for them to build important social skills while using their brains. We were so generously funded previous for the STEM board game, Genius Square, and it has been a hit. Now I need even more difficult games and these two are the next level up from Genius Square. Thank you for taking the time to look at my project and GAME ON!
