Since some activities are more popular than others, I usually set up several activities and set a cap for each activity. While it’s sometimes best to do a whole group activity, I think it is important to include a choice of activities during indoor recess whenever possible.

Limbo– Turn on some music and have a kid help you hold up a yardstick to play an impromptu game of limbo.

Indoor Hopscotch– Put some painter tape down and let the kids play hopscotch.

Here’s a list of kid-friendly yoga poses.

Yoga– Lead your class in some yoga stretches.

Put on some music and get ready for some laughs.

Dance Lesson– Let your kids teach you their favorite dance moves.

You can even do these in the classroom if you are able to move the desk or have enough room.

Depending on the space, you might not want the kids to run, but maybe they could crabwalk, hop on one foot, tiptoe, or crawl. Relay Races– Maybe you have an empty cafeteria, gym, or a hallway that can be used for some relay races.Sometimes you just have to let them move. Being stuck inside can create some really wiggly kids. Mad Inventors– Pull out whatever materials you have on hand and let the kids work with a friend to build a new invention.Challenge them to see what happens if they change their ramps. Then, let them race toy cards on their ramps. Ramps and Cars– Let the kids build ramps with cardboard, pool noodles, blocks, books, or whatever else you have.Try using cardboard boxes, toilet paper tubes, Legos, paper cups, and tape. Marble Mazes– Give the kids a marble and whatever scrap materials you have to create their own marble mazes.Give them some small plastic toys and let them see if their tower can hold the toys up. Cup Stacking– Let the kids see how high of a tower they can build.Building Challenge– Let the kids build towers with gumdrops and toothpicks, spaghetti noodles and marshmallows, rolled up newspapers and masking tape, or whatever materials you have.See whose goes the farthest, flies the highest, curves the most, etc.

Have them color it completely and then turn it into a paper airplane. Paper Airplanes- Give each kid a sheet of paper. Why not use the time to fit in some fun STEM activities?
