Recess Rockstar Challenge: Week 2
The Transition Mini-Challenge
To be read during morning announcements or before transitions.
1
Good morning, Rockstars! The Recess Rockstar Challenge is in full swing, and we have seen some incredible acts of kindness, inclusion, and positive problem-solving on the playground so far! Give yourselves a round of applause!
2
Remember, we are still looking for those legendary behaviors every day: being kind and caring to your peers, including everyone in your games, and using positive problem solving when things get tough.
3
Attention, everyone! This week, we have a NEW Mini-Challenge focusing on the "opening act" and the "encore"—going TO and FROM recess!
We want to see our classes move through the halls like true professionals.
4
Throughout the week, Surprise Staff Members will be stationed in the hallways and at the doors. They will be watching to see which classes are being quiet and calm, walking safely, and going directly to where they are supposed to go.
5
If a surprise staff member notices your class nailing these transitions, your class could earn a Transition Boost Ticket worth 5 POINTS! That’s a huge jump toward our grade-level popcorn and movie party goal!
Keep it up, Rockstars! Let’s show everyone how we roll!
Pacing Guide
Read with high energy and enthusiasm.
Pause for effect after "Surprise Staff Members."
Emphasize "5 POINTS" to build excitement.
Staff Note
Hand out "Transition Boost" tickets immediately following a successful transition to reinforce the behavior.

Introduction
"Good morning, Rockstars! We are entering week three of our Recess Challenge, and the energy on the playground has been incredible! Our staff is still on the hunt every day for the kindest, most caring, and most inclusive students during recess."
02
Previous Challenges
"You’ve mastered lining up quickly, calmly, and quietly, and your transitions to and from recess have been top-notch. But a true Rockstar doesn't just shine outside—they shine in the hallways too!"
New Focus
"This week’s mini-challenge is the Great Cubby Cleanup!"
"Keeping our cubbies and hallways organized is important. When our space is tidy, it’s safer for everyone, it shows pride in our school, and it helps our minds stay clear and focused for learning. Nobody likes a hallway hurdle-jump over stray bags!"
03
Rewards
"Listen closely: Surprise Observers will roam the halls at random moments throughout the day. If they see your grade level’s cubby area looking organized and clean, you will earn your grade a massive 5-Point Boost Ticket!"
04
Hero Tickets
"And don't forget—you can still earn individual Playground Hero tickets during recess for showing kindness, caring behavior, and for including others in your games."
"Our leaderboard is heating up!"
Who is leading the way?
Speaker Tips
