What do you do when you have no power?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169477) • United States 12 Oct 23

What do you do when a power line goes down and your building has no power, only emergency lights, and no internet? You have an hour long recess, of course, while the police block the road and the emergency repairs are made. This...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169477) • United States 3 Oct 18

A kiddo that was running away so he would not have to go in from recess sat down flat on the black top on the play ground. I was chasing him. I tripped, fell over the kid, and went face forward to the ground. Scraped my nose...

Answer to post "Which is harder?"

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 3 Oct 17

Several people gave their opinions as to whether girls or boys are harder to supervise at recess. The ones who said girls are harder mostly said it is because they can be really mean to each other (and that is what I was thinking...

Which is harder?

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 1 Oct 17

For elementary children ages 5-11, which do you think would be harder to supervise at recess, girls or boys? Why? I have an opinion, because I supervise recess twice a week, but I'd like to know what you would expect or have...

No Recess + No Snacks = Hungry!!!

Shavkat @Shavkat (141905) • Philippines 11 Mar 17

I am sure most students will say that recess time is their favorite to do at school. I think this a normal way of saying it. Students in all levels will agree that they need something to eat in between their classes. If they feel...

I do not mind winter weather at all. I do not mind going to work, or coming home. I DO mind wearing heavy coats. It will be good to have it if we have recess duty, but I much prefer my long sweater. My main charge will only...

Going Back to Recess

Amber @AmbiePam (120752) • United States 12 Jul 16

It was probably fifth grade when I started hating recess. Well, not recess as much as gym class. I didn't like being sweaty, or changing into gym clothes. So in fifth grade I mostly read during recess. And I always was happy when...

Randall One @randomone1 (4) 14 Apr 16

Are kids playing enough?

geekemgirl @geekemgirl (270) • United States 14 Jan 12

Is it just me or does it seem that kids hardly play outside anymore? Most of the schools in my area are eliminating recess, physical education (P.E.) and after school sports due to budget cuts. When children get home they choose...

All work and no play: should elementary schools ban recess?

kellys3ps @kellys3ps (3723) • United States 22 Nov 08

For some youngsters, a 15-minute recess is a chance to play a game of dodgeball, to swing, or to slide down a slide, and for many, that time is the only physical activity during the day. In a growing number of elementary...
