Help me give my students indoor recess activities to support collaboration and social emotional skills!

My Project

During the winter months, recess is hard! I want the students to continue to be social with their peers and enjoy their break time. Without enough engaging activities, we often have a difficult time remaining calm often resulting in overstimulation for everyone. I would like to provide my students with as many age-appropriate games to challenge them to play collaboratively together and continue to practice our social emotional skills even when we cannot go outside. These activities and organizational tools will help us enjoy our indoor recess months most.
