Program Mission

New Games provides an opportunity for children to play fun, physically active, self-expressive and non-competitive games. Volunteers share a variety of games with children ranging in age from pre-school through middle school.

Service, Goals & Projects

Service is provided to after school programs or occasionally as weekend one time events. Hour long weekly sessions allow volunteers to introduce games that are universally comfortable and easily followed. Familiarity then enables volunteers to expand their offering to games that incorporate more interaction and lead to development of positive interpersonal responses as well as group spirit. Both children and volunteers greatly enjoy the chance to share smiles, laughs, and fun times.

A quieter game is lots of fun too
