Recess guardians program teaching Loon Lake students to be more inclusive
With cell phones and social media, outdoor games at recess seem like a thing of the past, but a school in Loon Lake is working to curb that and improve socialization between students with its ‘recess guardians’.
Ernie Studer School Teacher Jody Freyman said a presentation was made in November to teach Grade Four and Five students the recess guardian program; how to play with each other but also how they can teach older and younger students the games as well.
“It’s all about getting back to how we played when we were kids and playing games with each other,” she said.
The presentation also taught students how to have fun with very little equipment while also taking games kids already know, like rock-paper-scissors, and teaching different ways to play them.
