Hopefully we are beyond our indoor recess' by now (at least when it comes to cold weather indoor recess) but for when they occasionally crop up because of rain here's an idea one of the schools I went to last month did. Let the kids leave their classrooms. At this school the gym was open and students were playing wii in one part of it and doing gym activities in another part and all of the classrooms offered something a little different for kids to do. My room was the reading/drawing/colouring room but I know at least one of the other rooms offered yoga (this teacher also made passes for the kids so that only 2 students/class could come to her room - likely due to them needing a bit more space for yoga). Other ideas I could see working well would be putting on some Just Dance videos (you can find them on Youtube), putting on an indoor recess video from GoNoodle and a board/card game room. At the school I was at the kids could also walk the halls but very few students did this.
