[Edu] Good Games for 6th Grade Special Education Class?

[miyu]

Having a good number of pyramids and access to the internet to find games is
also super helpful.  Several of the games I have used in my classroom (not a
dedicated special ed room but still obviously has special education
students) came from finding a game online and either adapting it or using it
as is.

Fluxx would be an excellent choice to teach the students to adapt to
changing circumstances.  It also would stress the importance of good
sportsmanship (eg. not flipping out when your turn gets skipped or a hand
limit goes to 0 and throws all your plans off).  Treehouse would also serve
the same skills and be playable with the pyramids.
