Indoor Recess and Fun Friday Activities

Help me give my students indoor recess and Fun Friday activities. I want to give them the opportunity to interact with their friends, work together, and have activities for students when the weather requires them to be indoors.

My Project

Many times throughout the year when the weather is cold or rainy the students have indoor recess. This project would help fund indoor recess activities. These activities can also be used during our Fun Friday. Fun Friday is a time set aside each Friday at the end of the day to reward students for their hard work throughout the week.

The puzzles, fidgets, and games are hands-on activities that help the students learn to work together, are fun, and engaging for all students at any ability.

Recess is a chance to for students to unwind, relax, and take a brain break during the day. Having a wide variety of activities for the students to choose from gives them opportunities to explore many different activities with their peers. Building relationships through play is important in building a strong classroom foundation.
