The students were excited the first day we introduced the games, and many immediately began asking when they would get to play again.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching students who don't normally interact work together to solve challenges and encourage one another. The games have helped build classroom community while also developing important skills such as communication, cooperation, critical thinking, and sportsmanship. Students look forward to these activities and have embraced the opportunity to learn through play.\r\n\r\nAs we continue using these resources, we are incorporating them into lessons focused on collaboration, leadership, and social-emotional learning.
