Recess Fun

Help me give my students new toys and games for a fun time on the playground.

My Project

There are about 150 first grade students this year at my school. I am looking to get some different toys and equipment to give the kids some variety on the playground during recess time. By giving them variety it will help them from all wanting to play the same thing which more often than not causes quite a few issues.

By providing jump ropes, footballs, frisbees, and more I can allow the kids to separate into stations instead of them all being on top of each other fighting over the couple of balls we have now.
