It was actually hard to distinguish between individual children in the steady stream of screamers tumbling over each other at the bottom of the slide. In real life: Your entire class hopped on. Then they climbed the ladder to enjoy a smooth journey back down to earth.
Ideally: Because kids are great at taking turns, they lined up single file, waited until the previous slider had enjoyed her turn and evacuated the slide area.
The pusher ran so aggressively that he inevitably fell and was dragged by the Mary-go-down, only stopping when he finally let go or ran into one of the other 50 children who fell off. In real life: Your entire class hopped on. The children selflessly rotated, giving the pusher ample time to ride. Ideally: A couple kids jumped on while another trotted leisurely alongside to spin. Veteran teachers, take a look at these photos and remember, we survived.
Cushions of wood chips or recycled rubber soften falls, and playground borders are nicely mapped out so teachers can keep a good eye on their students.Īnd while ’70s and ’80s kids might fondly reminisce and call modern playgrounds “soft,” anyone who taught in those decades knows updates had to be made-’70s and ’80s playgrounds were basically an invitation to the emergency room. School playgrounds today are generally happy, bright, and plastic-y wonderlands.
