A8: Shop thrift & yard sales.
Ask for donations. So many people have closets of games to give.
My best games have been purchased 80% or more off at the grocery after the holidays.
KEEP GAME PARTS from incomplete games.
GIANT GAMES
Let students be loud.
Play too.

A3: Each space and time during the day has a vibe. I found that during the morning Ss were more focused on traditional study hall work. However, the afternoon tended to facilitate a bit more conversation and opportunity for gaming. #TLSkyChat

A2: Advocating for play is much easier now that k-12 is more focused on SEL and understands the need for social, cooperative, and relaxing time. Play goes well with calming corners, and helps us break those musty, dusty, shushing stereotypes. #TLSkyChat

Q4: Maybe I am exhausted, but I feel like games & ramifications ARE SEL not supporting SEL.
Yes, games involve strategy & creativity & problem solving...
But they are teamwork & cooperation & self-regulation & empathy. They are the "...thrill of victory & the agony of defeat..."

The students desire to play the games. I've removed students from the library if they can't coop and they return. One group organized their own tournament for a 10 minute soccer game. REWARDS.
Still working on cross-clique game play. Ran on contest on 3d print. How does it work?
