Relax and Play

Help me give my students LEGOS, games and indoor activities for brain breaks or indoor recess on rainy or snowy days.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lomax's classroom raised $261

This project is fully funded

My Project

I would like to give my students two different ways to enjoy a brain break and indoor recess. With these games, LEGOS and other activities, my students will be able to pick an activity to share with other students. They will learn how to play, share and take turns as they play. Students would also find different ways to solve problems or build with the blocks and LEGOS.

My students will enjoy having different activities to do when the weather outside is not fit for them to go out and play on the playground.
