Missing recess
By Kathy

And here I thought I made up that "walking the perimeter" many eons ago when I was teaching first grade! Ha!!

I like the idea because they are noticing they are missing out--but still getting exercise. Just my personal opinion, but I have always hesitated taking away all of a child's recess since I believe they need that break. Usually the ones who are "eligible" to miss recess are the ones who need to move the most. (Which is why the "walking" bit works so well.)
