My students are overjoyed with all the non reading games that this project provides. We have been using them for ice breakers in small group and in after school activities. Specifically, the game Pile Up The Pancake has been a huge hit. We have set it up as if it was an actual restaurant. We have two teams and the students are the cooks and when the pancakes or piled up, they have to pass it to the waitress and that student delivers it to the customer who rings a bell. It has been so much fun!\r\n\r\n\r\nWe have also really enjoyed the floor puzzle game. This game has been such a blast for my students to work together and to race against the clock to complete the puzzle. Another fun game has been Twister. The laughter and good will that these games are cultivating are worth a thousand words. Thank you so much! We will be using them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1760020654648,"projectUrl":"project/fun-for-all/9453468/","projectTitle":"Fun for All!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lisa Carney/Plymouth Elementary","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4767354_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1504663555487","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4767354"},{"teacherId":4767354,"projectId":9526249,"letterContent":"Our class is over the moon with our new play food!
