We taught students to play kickball during recess to improve behavior and develop leadership skills and team work.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

We weren't able to supervise games during recess so we asked duty teachers to observe student behaviors during the games.

How did you accomplish your goals?

Students organized games during recess following rules taught in PE displaying teamwork and leadership skills. Overall recess behaviors improved.
