Last week I had recess duty for two days so I was able to see the children in a free playing experience and environment. Even though the students are mostly 11 years old, make believe play is still very evident. When I was playing with them, we played a game where you had to act out a person. I also notice a lot of physical play. They love to run around and get their energy out. I see that without this physical play, when we are back in the classroom they are more wound up and prone to acting up or not paying attention. It's funny because most teachers hate having recess duty, but I really enjoy it. It lets me see the children outside of the classroom setting, and it also lets me see their personality more. They seem to be more social while they play and act more like kids. It surprises me the most that even though they are 11 they still play like little kids, and I enjoy that : )
