Blacktop Recess

Help me give my students more options for play at recess time this year.

My Project

During recess at our school, the students play on a blacktop with little playground equipment. These materials would go towards third and fourth grade recess time, where the students currently have a blacktop with a football field outline and a couple basketball hoops. Although the fourth-grade teachers run a touch football game each day, the students who don't play football don't have very many options.

By donating to this project, students will have more variety in their play options at recess.

More materials will lead to less arguing and more opportunity to get out their energy at recess.
