I teach business classes. I use Monopoly, Legos, Uno (for strategy), escape rooms, domino reaction builds, time crunch team challenges, and a few others. I try to incorporate them into “Fun Fridays” when they often have tests in other classes.

smart

Ditto on “Fun Friday” with online apps (games, learning activities, vocabulary, keyboarding, targeted content, including Computer Science needs for our nation).
