Elementary School Recess Support & Enrichment
Recess is an essential part of the school day.
A break from the classroom…Time for students to move their bodies…A
great opportunity for important brain breaks…
Hanging out with friends…Working on social skills.
Recess is a very powerful part of the school day!
Recess has changed.
Kids are facing new challenges in today’s world which has impacted their
ability to interact with their peers.
Some schools are seeing increased numbers of arguments, physical
altercations and students having a hard time engaging one another.
Other schools are simply looking for additions and alternative activities
for their students to enjoy during recess.
Sometimes it’s one grade. Sometimes it’s more than one.
PLAY.FIT.FUN can help!
We will work with your school to choose the right activity for your
students. Whether you’re looking for help with your younger grades (K-2nd)
or your older grades (3rd-5th), PLAY.FIT.FUN has many activities to choose
from.
How does the program work?
- After we work with you to choose the right activity for your school, we schedule a short session to meet with your Recess Team, to train them on the game. They will learn the rules, any important nuances, plus tips for easy supervision and management during recess.
- After we train the Recess Team, we set up either a 1-week or 2-week (preferred) training session with your students. This can be done during one of their recess periods or any other time you might want to set aside during the school day.
- Each of the training weeks is broken down into either 20% or 25% of the grade per day. Training weeks are either Monday-Thursday or Monday-Friday. This framework allows us the time to work with smaller groups where students can learn and retain the game more efficiently.
- Once Play.Fit.Fun is done working with your students, we will present your school (and recess team) with a full recap, including notes re: how the students did. Plus, various game options, listing of game rules, plus pictures and/or videos to help you manage the game during recess on an ongoing basis.
We realize your recess team has a lot on their hands!
They are supervising all the students scheduled for recess. They are assisting students who are hurt or upset. We understand. That is why the games we present and teach are not only fun…but simple and easy to play and manage. They are activities that are focused on all students, no matter their abilities and interest levels. Easy to play…and easy to manage!
Inclusion…Social Engagement…Fun…Physical Movement…our games are wonderful opportunities for students to enjoy recess more and continue to build and practice healthy life habits!
