1. Decide what your newspaper should highlight
A recess safety game rules and chants handwritten newspaper is not just a list of game names. The key is to help classmates understand how to play safely and politely. So start by choosing two or three main columns: safe game rules, chants and rhymes, and a civilized breaktime promise.
2. Game rules and chants you can use
These games and chants can go directly into your newspaper. You can also replace them with games your class often plays.
- Red Light Green Light: Chant 'One, two, three, freeze!' The rule is to stop immediately when the chant ends, no pushing, no bumping into others on purpose.
- Duck Duck Goose: Chant 'Duck, duck, goose, place it gently, don't tell who.' The rule is to place the handkerchief gently and watch out for classmates when chasing.
- Rubber band jumping: Chant 'Little ball, banana pear, malan flower blooms twenty-one.' The rule is to take turns, no grabbing, and keep the rubber band low.
- Rock-paper-scissors: Chant 'Rock, paper, scissors!' The rule is best of three, no getting angry if you lose, and no cheating.
You can also add a clapping rhyme: 'Clap one, clap one, recess safety is number one; clap two, clap two, no chasing, no running, no fighting.'
3. Civilized promises and safety slogans
Civilized promises work well at the bottom or side of your newspaper, written in short sentences. For example:
- Be polite during recess, no chasing, no running, no roughhousing.
- Walk on the right on stairs, take turns, no grabbing.
- Handle game equipment gently, safety first in your heart.
- You give way, I give way, recess is happier every day.
4. Layout ideas for a good-looking newspaper
The title can be 'Recess Safety Game Rules and Chants' or 'Civilized Recess, Safe Games'. Write it large at the top or in the center. Divide the page into three or four sections: game rules on the left, chants and rhymes on the right, civilized promise at the bottom, and small illustrations of children playing in the middle. Use bright blue, green, and yellow. Don't write too densely.
5. A quick reminder before you start
Use a pencil to lightly draw grids and frames first. After deciding the positions, write the title with markers and add outlines. Write the text in black or dark blue and keep it neat. Let your child choose one or two favorite games and write the rules themselves, which helps them remember better. If you are short on time, you can find recess safety templates in the WeChat mini program 'Smart Handwritten Newspaper' and simply replace the text.
