Lunchtime Activities

Help me give my students equipment to play with during lunchtime. Keeping the students busy and active helps them to learn more. Active body = active brain!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Research shows that active students learn best. With this sports equipment, the students will be able to play several different sports during their lunch break.

The variety of equipment that was selected will keep the students engaged and happy during their lunch break.

The most popular sports during our lunchtime break are basketball, football, and volleyball.

Having this equipment available to students allows students to focus on building teamwork, sportsmanship, and keeping them busy so they aren't involved in drama! We see so much success when our students are busy at lunch playing sports with each other!
