Bridges and Barriers
Transitioning from elementary to middle school and middle school to high school can often be challenging. This game is a great way to come face to face with challenges students may encounter during these transitional periods of their lives. All you need to do is print off the game board of your choice, find some dice, and a couple of game pieces. Roll the dice and read the instructions on the space where you land. Sometimes you are presented with positive scenarios and you move your game piece forward. But just like life, sometimes you may encounter a challenge and then you must move your game piece back. As you play the game and come across these different obstacles, discuss ways to prepare for them in the future and make strategies for students to succeed. The first person to reach the end of the game board wins, or you can set a time limit and whoever is furthest at the end of the time wins.
Coloring Sheets
We're happy to share coloring sheets that can be downloaded and used by families and educators to introduce and encourage conversations about college and careers with elementary-age children. Designed by a first-generation college graduate and artist, Cisco Sandoval.
