Kid’s Gaming Workshops
The Guildhouse offers engaging opportunities each month for students to learn and enjoy a wide variety of board games and strategy games. We host two age-appropriate sessions — one for students in grades 3–6 and another for students in grades 6–11 — so players can learn at a comfortable pace while being challenged and having fun. Classes meet on Mondays for three sessions each month, with a focus on learning new games, building strategic thinking skills, and encouraging positive social interaction. Prior registration is required, as space is limited.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR EACH EVENT
Board Game Explorers: Strategy, Fun & Friendship
Grades: 3rd to 6th
In this workshop, students in grades 3 through 6 will explore fun and educational games that promote critical thinking, social interaction, and strategic planning. Each week, students will be introduced to an age-appropriate board game that teaches important skills through play. The final session will be a review and free play period where students can choose their favorite game to revisit.
This course is designed to be inclusive and fun for all experience levels. No prior knowledge of board games is required.
Strategic Board Gaming: Critical Thinking Through Play
Grades: 6th to 11th
This workshop introduces middle and high school students to several entry level strategy board games, where every move counts and each decision impacts the outcome.
Designed to sharpen critical thinking, planning, and social interaction, these workshops will guide students through several highly regarded games known for their depth, re-playability, and skill-building opportunities.
The final workshop session will be a review and free play day. Students will choose which game(s) to revisit, solidifying their understanding of each game's mechanics while enjoying a relaxed and social atmosphere.
Whether students are new to these games or already experienced, this course offers a thoughtful and fun introduction to modern strategy games that build real-world skills in an engaging, competitive setting.We look forward to seeing you there!
