indoor recess
By muffy

Here are some things my class does on snow days. We also have been out very little since Christmas.
1. show video
2. make a holiday craft
3. play a game like seven up or doggie, doggie, where's your bone
4.
kids bring in games from home and teach others how to play
5. put out math manipulatives to use
6. drawing paper
7. reading books
I have one rule when they are drawing or reading, they need to have their rears in a chair or on the floor. They are allowed to sit near friends and chit chat but they can't walk around unless they are getting paper or books.I recently found an old

pack of onion skin paper and the kids have been having fun with tracing and coloring pictures. One year we all made a craft stick box. We also sometimes go to the gym and do running games. I hope this helps. I usually have the kids do something different each day of the week so they don't get bored with it.
