Game Night and Social Hour for Teens! Take a Break and Have Fun!

Grab some snacks, grab a drink, and let's play some games. Whether you need a break from homework or you're just looking for something fun to do from home, here's your chance to do it with new friends from around the world. 

To begin our friendly and stress-free class, we will begin by chatting, getting to know one another, or just catching up from the week. Next, we will begin games such as [Scattergories/Taboo/Jeopardy] and more. During the classes, students are always welcome to suggest new games that can be added for a future class. Some games may be repeated but with new categories each time. Regardless of any games played, students are sure to have fun and laugh a lot. 

In addition to having a great time, students will continue learning encouragement of others, empathy, self-confidence. 

All games and conversations in this class will remain respectful toward one another at all times. 

Note: Please let me know if the student needs any help with reading or writing in this class. I am always very happy to help!
