on PopJam, a social

media platform for

kids 7–12. Ask an

adult to download

We asked: What is

your favorite board

game and why?

In the big debate, we

asked: Should schools

do away with award

assemblies?

“Apples to Apples,

because everyone

gets to share their

opinions.”

“Clue. It’s a

mysterious and

thrilling game

to play.”

“It is good to keep

them because

students feel good

about themselves

and they might do

better in class to try

to get an award.“

“Chess because it

is so relaxing and

fun and you can

also learn some

strategies.”

“I like Tic Tac Toe.

There are so many

ways to win.”

“No, because

students need to

have a goal to

work to.”

“Yes, because the

kids who don’t get

an award feel bad.”
