I have a super quick project that you are sure to find useful in your classroom. It is an Indoor Recess Cart, customized to your own students' interests. Not only is this cart easy to put together and compact in size, it also allows you to put to use items that you probably already have on hand. The main reason I created an Indoor Recess Cart was for sub days. I've always had a variety of activities students could choose on the days that we couldn't make it outside. However, I had them tucked here and there in the classroom, way too much explaining to leave for a sub. Once I consolidated the activity choices on the Indoor Recess Cart, it was much easier to leave for a substitute. To create an Indoor Recess Cart, you will need a utility cart. Once you have your cart and assemble it, you will print your labels. I printed mine on cardstock and laminated them for durability. Finally, I glued the labels on the cart. Click on the link below for a FREE set of labels for your Indoor Recess Cart. After your cart is put together and labeled, next comes the fun part...filling it. I recommend not over stuffing the cart. It will be too difficult for students see what activities are available and too difficult for them to cleanup appropriately. You should discuss with your students the expectation for the Indoor Recess Cart. That way students are responsible for it and it doesn't become one more thing that you have to manage. Below are some ideas for an Indoor Recess Cart. Ideas for an Indoor Recess Cart include: 1. a utility cart 2. a variety of simple games, like Memory, Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game!, Connect 4, and Hi Ho! Cherry-O 3. jigsaw puzzles (I like to put mine in baggies and store in one shoebox size tote.) 4. fun art supplies and drawing journals (Spiral notebooks I give students at the beginning of the year, that only come out on indoor recess days.) 5. dominoes 6. building toys, like Legos and Brain Flakes After you loaded up your cart, you're finished! You have a fabulous Indoor Recess Cart that your students will really enjoy. As the year progresses, trade out some of the activities, so that students will continue to be interested in the choices.

I have been racking my brain trying to come up with a few simple stocking stuffers and today an idea hit me. I saw these cute little finger twister boards but was not about to actually pay money for them... I figured It wouldn't be to hard to make something similar on my own. So if your interested in making your own go ahead and save these images to your computer and print them out on a regular size paper, they will end up being 5X5-6X6in' squares. All you'll need is the images of the twister board and spinner that you print out, some sort of cardboard/chipboard(you could even use a cereal box), glue, a spinner, and a thumbtack. You can make your spinner from cardboard or any stiff object you can think of...I got lucky and found these plastic arrows in our gogurt box(a free gift to help you roll your gogurt). ha ha Bet gogurt didn't know how perfect they would be for my finger twister board!! First cut out your boards and glue them onto your chipboard. If by chance you are using spray glue like I did, make sure you spray the chipboard and not the paper(sometimes it soaks through the paper so I always spray the thicker material I'm using). Trim up the edges and tack on your spinner. Make sure your thumbtack isn't pressed all the way in, so the spinner has room to spin of course. And to avoid being pricked by the tack, take some pliers and bend the bottom of the tack under. And there you go, your ready to battle it out finger style! (By the way my printer was running out of ink, Your colors will be way more vibrant) Simple,fast and fun... perfect stocking stuffer for those game lovers!
