Pyramid Blast off Game   
Not only do the students in the BHC program at PS 64 in the Bronx, play this Pyramid Blast off Game we also use this site for other activities. There are some great lesson plans that are easy to follow for the Group Leaders and also activities the parents could do with their children (e.g. Grocery Store Treasure Hunt).
