Break Time Buddies

Earlier this year I set up a Playground Friends scheme which the Year Six children who are involved decided to call 'Break Time Buddies'. I purchased special bibs to make them easily identifiable and they help the teachers and midday assistants on duty by organising games, monitoring the play equipment and demonstrating good manners and sensible behaviour.

We meet up every couple of weeks. In today's meeting we discussed Craze of the Week. This is where they organise an activity which the whole school can get involved in, should they choose to. Our biggest successes have been hulahoops, skipping and basketball so far. However, now we are beginning to run out of ideas.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

How about marbles? Loved this game when I was young.

That's a good idea! I will suggest this to the Buddies!
