Mission Statement
The Great Outdoors Recess Enhancement Program (G.O.R.E.P.) is dedicated to transforming recess into a structured, engaging, and inclusive experience where every child has the opportunity to move, play, connect, and thrive.
Our mission is to provide schools with high-quality, age-appropriate games and activities that promote physical activity, teamwork, leadership, creativity, social-emotional development, and positive behavior. Through structured recess programming, we help create a school environment where students look forward to recess, develop healthy habits, build meaningful peer relationships, and return to the classroom ready to learn.


G.O.R.E.P. brings purpose and structure to recess.
We partner with schools to create a more active, positive, and inclusive recess experience without taking away the fun that makes recess special.
What Makes Us Different
150+ Structured Games & Activities — A wide variety of activities designed to keep students active.
Rock, Paper, Scissors! 🪨📄✂️
When students have a minor disagreement, Rock, Paper, Scissors provides a quick, fair, and fun way to decide.
Play fair. Accept the result. Keep playing!
GOREP Fair Play Policy
Every student, regardless of age, size, or skill level, deserves the right to fair play, inclusion, and fun. Whether indoors or outdoors, every game and activity is designed to keep students engaged. No student is ever eliminated. At most, a student will simply reset at the end of the line for reentry.
Benefits
- Promotes inclusion and participation
- Builds confidence and teamwork
- Reduces conflict and frustration
- Keeps students active and engaged
- Encourages fairness and respect
- Gives every student another opportunity to succeed
At the start of every activity, students enter the play area and line up or stop at an invisible line. This creates a clear starting point where students prepare for the Attention Grabber, instructions, expectations, and activity boundaries before play begins.
Statewide Testing Days
On statewide testing days, GOREP incorporates free play to give students an opportunity to decompress, release energy, and enjoy a low-pressure break after the emotional demands of testing.
Benefits
- Establishes clear expectations and boundaries
- Gains student attention quickly
- Creates a smooth transition into activities
- Reduces confusion and unnecessary disruptions
- Helps students feel prepared and confident
- Provides a positive outlet after high-pressure testing
- Supports emotional well-being and engagement
