Renfroe Middle School Media Specialist Benjamin Lynch was awarded a teacher grant to purchase curriculum-aligned board games. These social games encourage friendly competition while reinforcing the concepts the students learn in class. Games that require role play and interaction provide alternative ways in which students can engage with the curriculum. Mr. Lynch said, “It is one thing to read about the American Revolution, but quite another to reenact a scenario from that time period and confront the challenges that each side faced.“
