I have started collecting some fun games that also will help you practice skills you need for learning and getting to know yourself and your own skills, talents, and interests. Please check back regularly for new activities and resources!
Remember, for every 30 minutes you spend in front of the computer, spend 30 minutes doing some kind of physical activity: Stretching, walking, cleaning your room, helping with chores around the house, walking the dog, playing with your family members outside, going on a bike ride, playing at the park...
Please contact me if you find any fun social-emotional resources that would be appropriate to share with students in grades K-6.
Thank you!

How many objects can you follow at once? This is a fun game to test your ability to focus and to learn the importance of focusing on one task at a time. Please see me at recess to let me know when you have played this game. I would love to hear what you think of it! Let me know how many objects you were able to successfully follow.
Play a memory concentration game: Listen closely then match pairs of sounds.
