This year, we got recess in the middle school for the first time.

I don’t like it that much because there is a lot of space to play, but it seems like we get only about five minutes. I would rather stay inside because you get to finish your lunch and you get to play board games.

Also, if we do go outside, we play Godzilla — someone is Godzilla and the rest are the helicopters. Outdoor recess has a lot of space with kickball, soccer and football. They also have hula hoops and jump-ropes. I would rather stay inside and work on writing and other school projects.
