From matching and guessing games to Connect Four, Sorry!, and outdoor activities, students are learning important social skills while simply enjoying being kids. \r\n\r\nMy students were SO excited to receive their new games in the mail! 🎉 I sent two student helpers to the main office to pick up the box, and they could hardly wait to bring it back and open it. Their excitement quickly spread throughout the classroom as they discovered all the new games they would get to enjoy.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my scholars and helping make Purposeful Playtime possible! Your generosity provided more than games—you gave my students opportunities to build relationships, practice life skills, create memories, and experience JOY in our classroom.
