Creative living expert Lynn Lilly walks us through another awesome activity for when the kids need a break. There are a lot of steps to this DIY craft, so we recommend breaking up into separate activities throughout the week.<\/p>\n<p>Kick off the first recess of the week with a rock gathering exercise. Get out into the fresh air and collect ten super specimens. Remember, a little outdoor playtime can go a long way in helping improve academic performance in children. Both fresh air and physical exercise are thought to nourish attention, concentration and overall performance.<\/p>\n<p>On day two, you can begin the arts-and-crafts portion of the project. Let the kids pick out their favorite colors to paint their rocks. They should be dry by next day&#8217;s recess! That&#8217;s also when you can also begin making your board. Grab a ruler and ask the kids to measure geometrical squares across the paper. Who says you can&#8217;t pepper a little math into a recess break?<\/p>\n<p>By the time day four rolls around, it will finally be time to play! See who wins first. You can even up the stakes by incorporating small rewards. Whoever gets 3-in-a-row first gets an additional 5 minutes of recess! Check out the instructions below to get started.<\/p>\n<h3>Supplies:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<li>Red Paint<\/li>\n<li>Yellow Paint<\/li>\n<li>Black Paint<\/li>\n<li>Paint Brushes<\/li>\n<li>Blue Construction Paper<\/li>\n<li>Green Construction Paper<\/li>\n<li>Cardboard<\/li>\n<li>Glue Stick<\/li>\n<li>Pencil<\/li>\n<li>Ruler<\/li>\n<li>Rocks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Time to Craft: 30 minutes\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Divide the rocks into two equal teams.
