Putting Play to Work for the Common Good

Ideas to Share and Discuss for A “Bridging the Gap with ‘Bridge’” Service Project

• Form a Bridge Club, virtual or real, with a class or a school that has a diverse ethnic, racial or differently able population  as a “common ground” for developing understanding and relationships.
  
  
• Teach elementary school age students games that are precursors to Bridge (War, Tricks, Trump, Rook, Spades, Mini Bridge) and the life/social and academic skills that are appropriate in a voluntary capacity during school, after school, or in a child care setting.
  
  
• Organize a community Bridge Tournament to raise money to donate to a nonprofit organization.
  
  
• Visit “assisted care” facilities, senior centers, or the like to play Bridge, foster intergenerational relationships and give companionship.
