Recess can be boring if there is nothing to play with. Although my students amaze me with their ability to make up games, equipment makes it so much more fun! When students can play soccer and practice their kicking they are doing much more than just running around. When others can draw with sidewalk chalk they are able to draw a hop scotch rather than just jump around. When they can use a rubber ball to play kickball as a class they are working together while becoming healthier and stronger!
Every student has different likes and dislikes and having choices at recess allows them each to have fun!
Some vote for soccer and some vote for football while others draw with chalk or jump rope together. Having opportunities to play with all of the equipment makes students much more active and excited for recess! After students play outside in the hot weather they need some water and snacks to get their energy back to be ready to learn. Research shows that students have improved learning when it is paired with physical activity. My students want to spend time playing so they are ready to learn!
