  Case: No Recess
My administration has made it very clear that they do not approve of recess except on Fridays. I teach a class of 25 rowdy 8 year old kids. I am a firm believer in the fact that they need a break. I have been stopping and doing a Just Dance break after lunch, but I always feel like I have to sneak around and hope to not get caught. Am I wrong for wanting my students to have a break?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I agree with the above posts! You should check out GoNoodle.com, this site provides quick interactive "brain breaks" for students. Videos are only about 2-3 minutes and students really enjoy them. You could do a few of these to get students moving throughout the day. Also trying having students move around during transitions. For example, call tables to the carpet by having them frog hop or skip. It is so unfortunate that administrators have taken such a valuable time from students!

Comments: Taking the time to do a few small fun breaks during the day sounds like a good solution! Then they won't only get one log break. They may even look forward to switching subjects because it means they get to have fun
