My Project

Students need a way to learn strategies in a fun way. These board games will also allow them to bond and form new relationships.

Often teens face bullying and teasing each other but having fun in this way will support their social emotional learning and support their bonding.

Because of this, I would like to make use of classic and new board games to create a fun way to connect.

Students can start connecting to each other on a personal level and create friendships with those they aren't friends with. I think this would create some bonding time for students and give them a way to get to know those that they aren't friends with or have had challenges with in the past.

We can think of this project as a way to restore and recreate friendships. Thank you in advance for your support.
