Too Many Playground Problems
Create a chart for a grade level that depicts the number of playground occurrences in a given 4- week period.
Share your graph with the class as the basis for a discussion about making recess a better experience for all. Discuss reasons for referrals to the office (fighting, harassment) or time out (roughness or unfair play). Discuss complaints and statements students make when they return to class after recess (not enough to do, someone was unkind). Injury is any physical problem requiring a visit to the health room (i.e., scrape from fall).
