Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Technology is a necessity in today's classroom, but I am finding more and more that my students are lacking in strategy and social skills that used to be learned through the playing of board games. To help remedy this issue I am asking for a variety of board games to use in my STEAM classroom to help my students learn strategy and social skills in a technology-free environment.

Each board game will be analyzed, studied, and tested by the students to develop an optimal strategy for playing.

Students will be expected to research the history of each game, review the rules, and work through to understand the decisions that must be made throughout the game. These board games will make a wonderful screen-free addition to our STEAM classroom.
