Games for Indoor Recess

Help me give my students some indoor recess games here in Western Maine. They enjoy building and creating things so I think the Puzzle Connecting pieces would be a great asset in my room.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Crews's classroom raised $411

My Project

During the winter in Western Maine, it can get pretty cold. There are some days we can't go outside due to low temperatures. These games will have an impact on them because it focuses on cooperative learning. Many of the students do not socialize outside of school and don't know how to interact with each other in a positive way.

Being social and knowing how to work together is very important in the development of a child.

I want them to experience that as much as they can when they are in my classroom.
