What’s Happening During Recess

At recess time on Tuesdays and Thursdays there are kids who do Mileage Club. Mileage Club is where you run at least 2 laps and you have a card so that whenever you run a lap someone will help you punch a hole in your card to tell you that you have already ran that lap. If you run 10 laps, you will get a toe-token. There are 20 numbers on your card so every time you run 20 laps around the field, you will get 2 toe-tokens and a new card. When you get the new card you need to write your name and the class you are in. When it’s almost winter we stop running because it gets too cold outside to run.

Tag is also one of the things people play during recess. The people that are playing Tag be creative by splitting into groups like Boys vs. Girls. They also add more things to their game, Tag. One of the other things they add is base. Base is where you have a color or thing to touch which means you can’t be tagged when you touch it but you have to touch it for you to be on base.

There are also some sports that are played during recess like kickball and basketball. Kickball is played in the fields and basketball is played on the blacktop where the basketball hoop is.
