Empower Your Students Through Active Play with Recess Champions
RECESS Champions trains Grades 4–6 students to lead games and foster fair play during recess. They’ll develop leadership skills, promote inclusion, and build confidence—on and off the playground.
- 6 Lesson Plan Modules :
A step-by-step guide to help you teach leadership, communication, fair-play and leadership. Each module includes structured activities, discussion prompts, and tips for leading effective recess sessions.
Games Library : A collection of fun, inclusive, and easy-to-lead games designed for the playground. These games promote active participation and help students practice leadership and fundamental movement skills.
Program Checklist : A practical planning tool to help educators track progress, stay organized, and ensure each component of the program is implemented smoothly.
In-Person Training Workshop (depending on location) : A hands-on training session led by Champions for Life team to prepare your staff and student leaders. Includes demonstrations, best practices, and Q&A to ensure confident implementation.
“I implemented the RECESS Champions program with our Grade 4 and 5 leaders for our Grade 1 to 3 students. The younger students loved being guided by the Grade 4s and 5s! And the leaders loved teaching the younger ones! A great program!”
