I just saw a Honduran school timetable and three times a day is marked “Recreo Recess.” It made me think that maybe Recreating is a better word than Recess – doing is a better focus than recessing? When I reflect on past CIRA Ontario conferences and workshop, and when I review this INPUT, it is all about games and activities that are fun, active, engaging, and inclusive – all of it a far cry from recessing.

NEW RESOURCENOW AVAILABLE

Players try to succeed in overcoming a (mostly physical) challenge in under 60 seconds--or have several players compete for the quickest time. There are over 100 challenges. The games require easily accessible equipment like: empty plastic bottles, string, coins, paper, plastic cups, baskets, empty pop cans, playing cards... Ideal for a little activity break in the middle of a regular class, some change of pace activities in the gym (try keeping three balloons up in the air for one minute – it is harder than it seems), or some challenges on a rainy day physical education class when it is too wet to go outside... The clock is ticking, get your book and begin these challenges.

Low Organized Games as a Unit! Low organized games can be used in so many situations in a Physical Education and intramural program. Many teachers simply use them as warm down games or cool down activities. Some use them as the primary activity on any given day. It is even possible to use them as an entire competitive, team building unit, complete with learning goals, success criteria and assessment.

Separate your class into equal groups of approximately 6 – 10 students. This would be done by the teacher in order to create an equal distribution of leaders and difficult students. On day one, each group assigns a captain, assistant captain and a team name. The team name should be two words consisting of a adjective and a noun. It should also be appropriate and positive (“Purple Penguins”). They should also create a positive appropriate cheer for their team that will be used throughout the unit.

After the first day they will come in and do a relay for warm up using “Out of the Box” and “Ready Set Relay”. Each day there will also be an activity where teams can garner points for success. In addition give teams a score for enthusiasm, team work, etc. Each day there would be a winning team of the day and an overall points leader. Here are a few examples of activities that could be used.

the gym to fill in one answer on the daily trivia sheet taken from “Out of the Box”. Then allow about 2 minutes to work as a group before marking. Assign one point for each correct answer.

TOP FIVE Recent CIRA Ontario Facebook Posts

THE IMPORTANCE OF RECESS “Recess and unstructured play provide children with opportunities to explore, problem-solve and

learn in ways that enhance their socio-emotional, physical and cognitive development,” said Julie K. Kidd, associate professor and early childhood education academic program coordinator at George Mason University in Fairfax. “The physical and mental break from academic activities

enables children to return to their studies more focused and ready to learn.”

The CIRA Executive members get the pleasure of travelling around North America presenting workshops to a wide variety of people. It is truly a pleasure to share our knowledge and passion to these people from all walks of life. However, the true joy comes from the things we learn from the delegates. At almost every workshop, regardless of the topic or resource, we often learn new games or variations that are shared with us by the participants. Not only are we offering professional development to our workshop participants, but we ourselves are gaining professional development from you!

Veronique, a French language instructor shared these games at a local workshop for after school programs. She played these games back in France as a child.

Postman: A game similar to “Duck, Duck Goose”, where the player walking around the outside is a postman and carries letters. They place the letters behind one players back, try to do so without them noticing. Once they notice, they chase the postman and attempt to tag them before they get around the circle and back to the original spot.

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Well: Play any RPS variation, but add in a fourth object. This object is a well, signified by creating a circle with your hands and thumb. Paper covers the well, but rock falls inside the well and is lost.

Walking Labyrinth: Many schools have invested the money to create amazing playgrounds by having them painted with four squares, hop scotch, basketball keys and other fun activities. Why not try a “walking labyrinth”! With a little bit of paint, you can create an area that students will walk for hours. It is not a maze, but rather a labyrinth because there is only one way in, and one way out. You can’t turn down the wrong path. By the time you have walked through the maze once, the distance you have actually walked is much longer than the area you used. It also requires some amount of concentration since you need to pay attention to the many turns. It is also a great way to help calm down students that are angry. Send them into the maze and they calm down while getting exercise.

CIRA Workshop Leaders Learn From the Best

More than 70 different schools applied for the CIRA Ontario Outstanding Intramural Achievement Award. Each school that applied had to submit an application to CIRA Ontario that described how their intramural program was successful. Areas of success include student leaders, awards, themes, announcements, staff participation, and play days. A large number of schools also included unique game ideas; games that were fun and exciting to the student body. Listed below are several game ideas that schools have been using for their intramural programs.

Trent University: We play Midnight Madness Dodgeball. Students enjoyed the spontaneity of the night and the opportunity to be active and social with their peers.

Good Shepherd School: Rock-Paper-Scissors-Football was our most successful program where every student from grade 1 to grade 6 could enjoy and have fun with. The games involve sportsmanship and teamwork.

Helen Detwiler: Snow Toys go out on every nutrition break (weather permitting). They rotate through classrooms and have reduced our snowball incidents. We also give every student a tennis ball 2-3 times a year for home or playground use. We have had over 3000 tennis balls donated to our school so far.

Vradenburg J.P.S.: We hosted a 1st Annual Grade 4 4-Square Tournament where we chalked 10 four square courts out on the pavement and held a 45 minute long, non-elimination, 4 –square tournament. We also did a V.A.A. Sled Pull for the Primary class that brought in the most amount of food for the Winter Food Drive.

Lindsay Collegiate and Vocational Institute: Annual tug-of-war competition between classes to bring new students and teachers to the gym.

St. Theresa Elementary: We have special demonstrations sport specific such as tennis and aussie football; it exposes the students to different sports not often played or even cultural links.

Briarwood Public School: We offer many competitive and non-competitive events at our school, one being European Handball. The introduction of new sports gives students knowledge to new games that they otherwise may not be exposed to.

Redeemer University College: We have variety and inclusion of non-mainstream sports such as dodgeball and ultimate Frisbee.

Pope John Paul II Elementary: We have a variation between high and low organizational games. Example: Basketball Golf allows students to compete against themselves as opposed to others, by completing a trick shot on each of the 6 basketball nets. The score is kept based on a par for each net and a leaderboard is posted.

Christ the King School: For our Primary students we have an intramural program which our Junior students, PALS, serve as leaders to facilitate this program. We call this Green Veggie Soccer and the teams are as such; Asparagus, Celery, Broccoli, Okra, Spinach, Kohlrabi, Brussel Sprouts, and Kale.

Clemens Mill Public School: Primary Intramurals are activities held for grades 1-3. Some examples of games we play are freeze tag, octopus, line tag, and toilet tag.

St. Teresa: The intermediate students enjoy working on stacking our school’s speed stackers cups in a friendly competition.

Oscar Peterson Public School: When we run Quidditch, we get almost all of the grade level out to play. They love the game and how it relates to books and movies that they have read and seen.

Courtice North Public: We play games such as Key master, Dodgeball, Parachute Games, and Tag Games.

Erin Centre Middle School: Grade by grade outdoor dodgeball. We played on the soccer field and we had close to 240 kids playing a mass, fun-filled, highly competitive game of dodgeball.

Brisdale Public School: We hold Sport Stacking and Rock Paper Scissors Tournaments. These tournaments are filmed/ photographed and the finale is a combination of loud music, highlights, and live tournament action as the finalists finish the tournaments in front of the entire school.

Shaw Public School: We introduced Flag Football to the grades 4 and 5s. We had interested students sign up and had 10 practice days to introduce how to play the game.

Credit Valley Public School: Different Game Activities include: Grade 1 Equipment Activities Club, Grade 2 Pinball, Grade 3 Newcomball, Grade 4 “21” Basketball Club, and Grade 5 Floor Hockey.

C.H. Norton: We do a Monster Mob Dance which is a whole school flash mob dance. We also do the RPS Scream competition through CIRA Ontario.

Incorporating new game ideas into intramural programs keeps the students involved and also excited to try something different. By adding unique games to programs, the students enjoy intramurals that much more and continue to enjoy participating during lunch hours. Games such as dodgeball, flag football, tag games, and Quidditch are just a few of the unique games schools have come up with to keep their students wanting more physical activity!

Clubs & Programs CIRA Ontario distributes the Outstanding Intramural Achievement Award each year to different schools who display intramural excellence. Over 70 schools applied this year for the intramural award. Schools are to submit an application describing how their intramural program is successful. They are to list and describe the aspects of their program. Many applications included clubs and programs that were available to the students in coordination with their intramural program. Displayed below are some clubs and programs that schools incorporate.

by Carly Voortman

McKinnon Public School: “Walk to School” Program: We have collaborated with the Mississauga Traffic Safety Council to create safe walking routes for the students to use with their family and friends. We have spirit days where staff wear a bright green “Walk to School” t-shirt and hand out pencils, pedometers, t-shirts and water bottles to students outside who are seen walking to school.

The Sterling Hall School: Our Fitness Clubs are offered as extra help to further develop skills, strength and cardiovascular fitness. The club is offered during recess.

HighGate Public School: Unlike structured sports or teams, we have Drop-In Days that allow for us to play and be active with students that are not regularly at team or structured games.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel School: ‘Knight Club’: Students engage in non-sport related cooperative activities. This program teaches the children that working as a team is not only important in sports, but in every aspect of our lives.

St. Anne Catholic Elementary: We have increased the number of “club” activities that we offer. We have an Intermediate games room where student have held Foosball games, Air Hockey, Diplomacy (a board game), chess, checkers, and krokano.

St. Agnes Catholic Elementary School: Our Student Social Justice Club/ Me to We Team discusses issues globally and locally. Students create fundraising opportunities for the school. We also have a Lego League where students work in teams to create different machines and complete challenges.

Christ the King School: Our new activity, Yoga Club, has 40 dedicated participants. The students are sharing some of their strategies and positions learned in Yoga with family members. This has made a positive difference in their lives as a coping strategy for these students.

Red Willow P.S: We have a program called HENS (Health, Exercise, and Nutrition for Self Improvement). We use half of the Nutrition Break to talk about Nutrition and Healthy Living. The second half of the break is used to play a variety of fun games to get the students active. I hold healthy eating contests and exercising contests where the students can win prizes for exercising at home, recording it in their HENS book and getting it signed by their parents.

McCrimmon Middle School: We have a Wednesday’s Girl’s Fitness Club and on average approximately 40 Grade 6-8 girls come out regularly to be physically active in a variety of activities.

Laurentian University: In our Outreach Program the students, both Junior and Senior Sports Convenors, make presentations to their alma mater high schools. This year we have officials taking the message home too. They promote our Intramural Sports Program and University. The emphasis is on the experience and skill development opportunities for students within the Intramural program and at Laurentian University as well.

Meadowvale Village Public School: Our marketing club produces posters to advertise our intramurals. We believe that through advertising our program we are promoting a healthy lifestyle, fostering community, and increasing active participation. We also try alternative approaches to physical fitness. We brought in Fit2Dance to do dance workshops with all the students and staff. All classes from K-5 explored moving to music and creating their own unique and funky dance movements.

Ecole St-Jean-Baptiste: We offer many different clubs for students to participate in. We have a board game club, improvisation team, chess, ecological green team, skipping club, prayer club, and many others.

Helen Detwiler: Dance Club is our most unique opportunity offered to both boys and girls separately and they have presented at assemblies.
