REP Game of the Month: Ghost

February 16, 2018

March weather can be unpredictable. One day it’s beautiful, the next it’s snowing. Our Recess Enhancement Program’s (REP) game of the month, Ghost, can be played outside on a small playground or inside in a gym. It will keep students active but also requires them to listen and practice patience. If they don’t keep their ears open, they might just get caught by the ghost!
