Recess Games

Room 4 has listed the games they have created this year! Many games played at recess are imaginary, age appropriate play. As we talked this week many discussions centered on ok/not ok, and why we might like to change some of the pretend choices. I am so proud of all of my first graders. The games based on video games, though creative, energetic, and fun for some, are too "scary", for others. The games that  have weapons, blood, monsters, are too graphic for some 6 year olds to enjoy. Our recess staff enforces the school rule "no tag/no chase" when "running" gets out of hand. First graders are able to discern the difference. Please enjoy their art work, every child contributed their favorite game and added to our discussion. I have a smart group of kids!
