Organized Fun

Help me give my students organized play at recess so everyone can join in the fun; playing soccer, jumping rope, hula-hooping or chasing bubbles is a great way to exercise.

My Project

Organized play is the safest way to have fun during recess. Having a playground structure is fun, but what about the students who aren't interested in that? Organized play is a way to get them moving and having fun, too. Options of how to play are crucial to getting everyone involved.

Having a variety of choices on how to play make recess more fun for all.

Whether it's soccer, jumping rope or bubble chasing all students are involved in something. This gets everyone exercising and having fun. Playing soccer teaches teamwork skills that can transfer to the classroom when doing group assignments. These items allow safe fun for all to enjoy.
