The 2020 holiday gift drive focused on giving Lego kits to families during the holiday season. We decided on Legos because they provide many benefits for children. For example, children can improve their literacy while working to read instructions, develop and improve their creativity, problem-solving, organization, and planning skills as they construct and design projects and hones their motor skills as they maneuver Lego pieces.
The 2021 holiday gift drive will focus on board games. Playing board games can provide many benefits for children and their families. Playing board games gives opportunities to families and their children a time to build language skills, improve children's executive function skills, such as planning, organizing, and making good decisions, they can also help sharpen a child's focus and lastly, they have the ability to help teach the values of teamwork, tolerance and good sportsmanship.
