[AISLE-Share] Library option at recess time

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

If you have the space and don't mind a little clean up, an old-school maker
space with some recyclables. Also, there are a lot of ideas for simple
crafts on pinterest that need little prep--just put a sign out with
instructions.

If you have a little funding, you can get snap circuits for another STEM
activity. Computers or ipads set to coding sites (try code.org).

If you have storage and an open space in the library, you can occasionally
put out a giant tinker-toy set. I used to put one such kit out in the
public library on days schools were out and we got elementary kids in the
library. It was a favorite activity. It takes a bit of supervision,
however, as you would likely ensure that students don't start "battling"
with the longer pieces. 😉
