We Could All Use a Laugh: Building Community Through Games

My Project
My 10th-grade AVID students work incredibly hard during the week in all of their classes. On Fridays, we have "Fun Fridays" where we let loose, play games, do stem challenges, and celebrate upcoming holidays together as a class. All of these activities help students to relieve stress and anxiety and help to build our classroom community.
School during COVID is more stressful and challenging than ever; my students look forward to our Fun Friday activities all week as a way to relax and celebrate their hard work.
So far this year we have made class t-shirts, decorated "ugly sweater cookies", made "pumpkin chuckers" during Halloween, completed Escape Rooms, and played games. My students are asking for more games we can play together as a class, beyond the few we have in the room already. These games can all be played with large groups and some we can even play outside to get some exercise and fresh air.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
