I have been using these to teach social-emotional skills, cooperative learning and critical thinking skills for the students at my school. I use the document camera to model how to play games and then set up stations for students to play. We have played during social-emotional lessons as well as during optional \"lunch bunch\" sessions for students, where they can elect to bring their lunch to the classroom and play games.\r\n\r\nStudents have learned to play a variety of games, which challenge them to think critically and help them with social-emotional skills by dealing with losing while playing.\r\nThe games we've played that support critical thinking, math and literacy skills are Sequence, Mancala, Mastermind, Pass the Pigs and Scrabble. I am working on creating escape rooms for them to play next semester.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your donation and for making this learning possible for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1713457902253,"projectUrl":"project/games-games-theyre-good-for-your-brai/8165782/","projectTitle":"Games, Games, They're Good for Your Brain!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp486494_orig.jpg?crop=1582,1582,x115,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650724024266","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/steph-walker"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41540","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":250,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":65,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.0,"schoolId":41540,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hallett Fundamental Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hallett Fundamental Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/denver-public-school-district-1/knight-fundamental-academy/41540"}
