Good Morning,

I hope everyone is off to a great start to the school year.  I'm looking for some inspiring ideas for my Media Center in regards to low tech / passive programming.

I currently have:
Community Puzzle
Perler Bead Station
Buddha Boards,
Community Sticker Poster (Stick Together)
A shelf of board/card games
Friendship/bracelet making

Can anyone offer any other ideas to implement for high schoolers?  I rotate activities in and out of the LMC throughout the school year.  I love activities that engage them in conversations with their peers (and get them off of their phones / Chromebooks).

Thanks for any help you can provide,
