Recess Remix™

The Recess Remix module combines physical activity and creativity. Children practice teamwork, cooperation, coordination, and creative problem-solving skills during fun, energetic games. Recess Remix activities are based on the premise that traditional games can be modified using nontraditional approaches. Inclusion and creative problem-solving skills are stressed, rather than winning or losing. Different games are played based on children's ages and abilities. Like inventions that combine two ideas into one product, different parts of a game can be changed to make a new game.


Each day, the challenges are new and exciting. Children play approximately four games per day, sometimes featuring water, recyclable materials, and balls. New experiences are created when children are challenged to use nontraditional equipment or incorporate items like water balloons into classic games. All activities are designed to engage the mind and body together while children work as a team. Recess Remix games challenge teams to depend on their own inventiveness and inquisitive thinking. Children discover that all games can be adapted and modified to create fun, new challenges
