Managing Behaviors During Recess


Listen Later

I'm often asked for ideas and advice for managing behaviors during recess. A lot of us assume that all of our students love being outside for playtime or recess. But, often, it's the time where we can see most of the challenging behaviors from our students.

In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing my best tips and advice with you for how you can help manage and reduce behaviors during recess.

Today in this podcast episode, I am talking all about;
  • How to effectively use your staff.
  • Staff zoning plans.
  • The reasons why you may be seeing challenging behaviours during recess.
  • How to avoid boredom.
  • Providing opportunities for fun.
  • Activity ideas to use during recess.
  • Using social narratives to help.
  • Looking at your space.
  • Possible changes you can make.
  • Adding classroom jobs.

How do your students find recess? Do you have any great ideas that you can share that work well for your students/school? If so, be sure to leave them in the comments section down below.
