My Project

Recess is an important time for students to recharge, socialize, and develop problem-solving skills. However, when the weather keeps us indoors, my third graders need engaging activities that foster creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking. That’s why I’m requesting a variety of indoor recess games, including board games and hands-on building toys like magnet tiles and a marble run.

These materials will provide my students with fun and meaningful ways to stay engaged during indoor recess.

Board games help build social skills, encourage teamwork, and strengthen strategic thinking, while construction toys spark creativity and engineering concepts through hands-on play. With these games, my students will have the opportunity to collaborate, problem-solve, and enjoy much-needed breaks in a productive and engaging way.

Your support will bring joy and learning to my classroom, making indoor recess a time of excitement and growth rather than restlessness. Thank you for helping create a positive and enriching environment for my students!
