When school is in session, many Playworks recess games include lots of kids running around on a playground, using shared equipment and giving each other high-fives; none of that works with current social distancing requirements and safer-at-home orders.
But many games are flexible enough to play from home, with little equipment, with siblings or parents or even alone.
“Our coaches play games that are accessible to families, and they also introduce some fun, silly modifications during the videos,” said Carolyn Muckelberg, development director for Playworks Wisconsin. “They try to keep it as engaging as it would be if it was face-to-face real-time recess.”
