Indoor Recess Options (When Needed)

Help me give my students fun indoor recess options and ziplock baggies for organization.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fissel's classroom raised $322

My Project

Sometimes indoor recess is unavoidable. Especially in South Carolina with the ample rain and extreme heat in April, May, and August. When that happens, we have to give indoor recess.

I’d love to give my students the opportunity to play strategic games.

The games, including Battleship, Scrabble and Boggle, will help them with real-life problem-solving. They will also use logical skills and be competitive in a safe environment and students will learn to lose and win. The arts and crafts supplies will allow students to use their creativity skills to design, inspire and engage their imaginations.

The baggies will ensure that all of our new resources stay organized and ready for students to use, for years to come.

I hope you consider donating. I know my second graders would love some different options for indoor recess.
