It seems like we all played outside most of the time. I never see the kids in my neighborhood outdoors.
I needed a prize for all my students, and I found some inexpensive plastic jacks sets. I showed the kids how to play the game, and they were amazed. I wasn't sure how they'd react, but it was one of the best prizes I've ever given the class. They loved them.
