Instead of simply sitting at their desks during rainy-day recess, my students now have opportunities to play, laugh, and build friendships together.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite parts has been watching my students collaborate with their peers while playing. They work together to explain game rules, make decisions as a team, solve problems, and encourage one another. Students are learning to communicate respectfully, listen to different ideas, and include their classmates in play. It has been wonderful to see them build new friendships and learn that working together can make learning and play even more enjoyable.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, we will keep using these games during indoor recess and as opportunities for students to practice being leaders and responsible classmates.
