REP Game of the Month: Ghost
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!
