While fewer schools may now have their playground supervisors engage the children in large group games at recess, you may wish to check whether there is interest in this at your child's school. Some examples of large group playground games are:
- Mother, may I?" (also called "Captain, may I?").
- Simon Says
- Red light! Green light!
- Jumprope games
If you do go this route, please know that many schools discourage playground supervisors from engaging in games with the kids. The idea being that the supervisor should be scanning the playground, which can't be done effectively if he/she is occupied in conversations/games.
