It's Raining, It's Pouring, but I'm Still Learning
Help me give my students games and activities for indoor recess including board games, kinetic sand, logic games, team building activities, and other high-interest learning activities.
Socrates so wisely stated, "I cannot teach anybody anything; I can only make them think." In an educational age where students are being given information and then made to regurgitate it, I want my students to be different, the ones who are able (and want!) to think for themselves!
My students are extremely diverse, coming from a multitude of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
While they are diverse, they do have one thing in common- they are all fun-loving and FULL of energy! They are eager to learn and anxious to explore new things.
My Project
Unstructured play is such an important aspect of the growth of young minds. Recess is key to this unstructured play and is imperative for day to day learning and life in general. Sometimes, there are unpredictable indoor recess days when the weather is a factor. Instead of students choosing technology all the time, they need cooperative, creative thinking inspired activities. Using these indoor recess games, students will collaborate, communicate, think critically and creatively, and demonstrate good citizenship. I want my students to be able to have free-choice for indoor recess, hopefully providing them with activities they won't have at home. Using these resources, I can encourage creative, collaborative thinking and teamwork. Thank you for supporting our classroom!
