Loved the 4th, 5th, 6th Graders' openness to trying something new last June:  KanJam!
Other Frisbee games are:  Disc Golf (try the Devens course) and Ultimate Frisbee

Check out the awesome 4-square game Martha's 5th grade class (now 7th graders!) created (and 3rd graders adapted) with clear, fair rules for whom to target (so kids in squares 1, 2, 3 get a chance).  Great work making a welcoming recess game!
