Engaging Recess Activities for a Chill Zone

Help me give my students structured activities and games for their recess time.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Berg's classroom raised $476

This project is fully funded

My Project

For a lot of students, recess is their favorite part of the day, but not for all. Some students don't want to run around, play tag or climb on the play structure. They prefer more quiet activities that help them keep their bodies calm during a chaotic time. They would rather sit and interact with a friend over a game of chess.

We would like to create a Chill Zone for students at recess time who need a quiet space.

All students have different needs at recess. We are hoping to acquire recess games and activities to meet the needs of these students. Our desire is to create a safe place for kids to go at recess time, where they can chill or quietly interact with a friend. Thank you for your help!
