My Project
It's time to take a break from your phone and join the class in some creative fun! I am looking to build a board game library with bean bags for my students to teach them how to interact without screen time. I am asking for board games that are high school appropriate and take under an hour to play (we have hour lunches).
It is important to take a break and take time to interact and get to know classmates.
We spend way too much time on our phones, and I would like to provide other forms of entertainment for my students. I want them to learn how to win, lose, or interact cooperatively with one another, as social skills are invaluable.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
