Games like Star Realms and Marvel Champions have not only provided them with a fun escape but also encouraged teamwork and strategic thinking. One memorable moment was during a session where students worked together to formulate strategies for winning in Marvel Champions. As they discussed their options, I observed them growing more confident in their ability to make decisions and communicate effectively with their peers.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new games, their excitement was palpable. They eagerly gathered around the tables, eyes wide with anticipation as they explored the colorful boxes and intricate game pieces. The energy in the room was electric, and within moments, they were engaged in friendly competitions and laughter, bonding over their shared experiences. Moving forward, the next steps for my students involve organizing a mini-tournament with the various games, allowing them to build upon their skills in strategy, patience, and sportsmanship. This initiative not only deepens their engagement but also fosters a sense of community among them, making our after-school program a vibrant and inclusive space for social interaction and learning.","fullyFundedDate":1730399778797,"projectUrl":"project/game-on-empower-students-with-engaging/8587707/","projectTitle":"Game On!
