My Project

My students love recess and look forward to playing/challenging each other. When weather doesn't allow us to have outdoor recess, we do recess indoors meaning the students are limited to what they can do. I am trying to provide a fun and engaging time during their indoor recess time. I am requesting games like Blokus, UNO, Splat, Jenga, Guess Who, etc. to play during indoor recess.

By introducing a variety of games, we aim to provide them with numerous alternatives to keep the fun alive during indoor recess.

This not only combats boredom but also promotes collaboration among students.

Collaborative indoor recess experiences lead to deeper learning, improved self-esteem, and the development of an understanding of diverse perspectives. Your support will make it possible to offer these enriching experiences to my students!
