We ...Ahh recess. I wish I still had one sometimes.<br /><br />We used to play soccer in early elementary. We'd pair off in teams that had way too many people and nobody understood what the positions were. So we'd be fighting against the other team and our own teammates for the ball.<br /><br />I think my favorite used to be "Boys Chase the Girls". But now I have a daughter in kindergarten and that game doesn't sound so good anymore. Hopefully she avoids it like the plague.Kieronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487123776987370009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196113258476427173.post-30513797329046279772013-04-21T14:28:21.876-07:002013-04-21T14:28:21.876-07:00recess was the best part of school.

How come recess stops once you get to a certain age though? We had play time/break all the way through school - admittedly we didn't really 'play' much as teenagers, but we still got a break from lessons. Is that different in the US?Groverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820685950702087464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196113258476427173.post-6623104760131840182013-04-21T05:35:29.315-07:002013-04-21T05:35:29.315-07:00I had recess through sixth grade.
