Talk and Play Games: Social Club for Boys (Minecraft, Gaming, Pokemon, Trivia!)

Trivia games and socializing are a blast for your child but did you know they will also be boosting their self-esteem and attaining the critical life skill of getting along with others. This class will provide an outlet for your son to engage in topics that most interest him while practicing his listening skills and sportsmanship. Each week, students will join a welcoming class environment by greeting each other to begin. This class is unique in the fact that the students will have the opportunity to choose our class theme! This will encourage enthusiasm to share about his favorite theme (Ex. Minecraft) while some weeks he may show empathy by having fun with another students' chosen theme. When students are unable to select a topic, the teacher will select a theme for the day. This may include Minecraft, Pokemon, Roblox, Among Us, and several others. 
The class will include a discussion prompt such as, "Who is your favorite pokemon?" to begin the initial conversation amongst students. Then, students will have the opportunity to engage in an interactive trivia game created and led by the teacher. This is intended to be light-hearted and fun while practicing essential social skills. The winner of the trivia game will be asked to choose the next week's theme! 
The class will always end with an inspiring message for their week. However, the boys will decode this message through clues provided by the teacher. This may include riddles or other engaging clues!

Learners will be informally assessed by the teacher by observation. The teacher will be assessing students for social skills such as confidence, sportsmanship, and empathy.
