Indoor Recess Game Guide

  1. Updates

Here at Playworks Minnesota, we know a thing or two about cold winters and rainy days. We know this can be a challenge for schools and educators to keep things fresh and engaging for students during the months of frequent indoor recess. To help ensure kids can still play and be physically active for indoor recess, Playworks Minnesota has put together a guide to help you with new ideas and games to play with your students.

Check out our Indoor Recess Guide to find activities for all ages, spaces, and energy levels.

Happy playing!
