School Recess
School recess is often just as educational as school. Do you make time to include stimulating play time in your home school day? Children can exercise their bodies and minds when participating in exciting recreation. Playing games during school recess is a great way to teach children to obey rules and practice being good sports as well. Here are a few of our favorite recess activities:
Scavenger Hunts rank near the top of my childrens' favorite down-time activities. You're kids are gonna love this one, too. My eleven-year-old daughter even contributed one of the questions/answers.

The hunt will take you to several family-friendly sites around the net. While this hunt is technically over and the prizes have all been awarded, the questions are still available. Have fun! |

Do your children love to color. Mine do. The school day is usually so full of academics there is not enough time for this fun activity. Why not let your children color for recess today?!

Several years ago I bought a mini-trampoline to exercise on. I put on my favorite heart-pumping music and jump to the beat. Before long my kids were beating me to the trampoline. Now, we include it as part of our recess time on a regular basis. This one has a bar to hold on to when you pump up the volume.

An inflatable bouncer play center is a great option for younger children especially if you're concerned they land on a very soft surface when bouncing. | |
|
The brave members of your household can strap on moon shoes for tigger-like bouncing! |
|
| Skipping rope is not only an incredibly healthy aerobic activity, it's fun as well. Need help with Jump Rope Rhymes, like Anna Banana, to teach your younguns? Check out this book. |
