iirc they put it on for us at school during a rainy day, i got freaked out by the first 5 minutes or so and then shortly after the rain cleared up and we got sent back outside, i never did watch it through

When my school would have indoor recess, my third grade teacher would always put on "The Cartoon Network"
She always included the definite article like that

We got indoor recess whenever there was:
(a) rain
(b) snow
(c) temperatures too cold to safely go out and play
...in middle school we had time outside, but they didn't call it recess, it was just the second half of our lunch period

the primary issue is that snow makes the asphalt slippery, which renders it unsafe for running around the playground like kids do
oh, and i almost forgot, we also had "asphalt-only" recesses when the grass was muddy but the pavement was ok

I saw The Princess Bride at school, which was fun.
I got it confused with The Princess Diaries, so I thought I was going to be bored.

i really liked 'wet play', which meant indoor play in which nobody got wet (we didn't call it recess, we called it playtime)
we got to play with lego and read books, and there were teachers supervising us constantly
i was always disappointed when the rain was too short, or too mild, for them to call a wet play. then we just got cold and miserable.
saaaaaame, indoor recess was great
I mean, probably if we had it all the time it would be different, but as a Rare Experience it was pretty great
we could play cards and also it was the rare chance where they just let us do whatever on the computers we had in class (granted there were far more students than computers so only a couple people got that)
in year 6 we got to play Rogue Squadron (or if we preferred, Zoombinis. but i rarely saw anyone choose that) on the computer as a reward for good behaviour, providing we'd finished all the work
prior to that though, i was only ever aware of there being one computer in the school, it had like a couple math games on it with the eye-searing graphics computers used to have and as far as i ever knew that was it

My elementary school had G3 iMacs and we always played Bugdom
My teacher got real pissy if we tried to save games for whatever reason
I think she overestimated how much space a Bugdom saved game takes up on a hard drive; it's the only way it makes sense
Thankfully she never figured out how to empty the Trash, so we'd just fish our saved games out of the Trash when we wanted to play again
Yeah my elementary school had Macs in all the classrooms. I think my favourite "game" from that period was HyperStudio, which is not a game (but is amazing, and we used it to make "games").
There was also Math Circus, the actual best computer game of all time, but fsr I don't have any memory of playing that in indoor recess though I certainly played it on other occasions at school.

I like how our indoor recess nostalgia completely hijacked this thread
i watched one of the Alien movies as a kid, without knowing what it was
it was scary, but all i remember from it is the following: 1. aliens may have highly corrosive acidic blood 2. artichokes can swallow humans head-first
I went to a Catholic school. Unless it was raining or snowing you went outside and had recess in the fucking parking lot. If it was raining, too fucking bad, you just sat in your classroom and read.
our indoor recesses were set up so we'd effectively have lunch in the classroom for an hour and they'd put something on the TV (usually PBS, sometimes Disney Channel if we were lucky)
though the ultimate one had to be during my second (ish) grade year when a freak snowstorm ended up making them shut down midway through the day, and without means of transportation for most of the students we just kinda stayed in, ate food, chilled out and watched a ton of movies
Balto and The Pebble and the Penguin were among them, and I want to say The Secret of NIMH was there too but I don't think it was showing on our classroom's TV

I kept to myself during recess but I at least kept myself occupied playing make believe
The big playground at the school I did 2nd-3rd grade at? It was a huge department store, in my imagination

There was a swing out in the backyard of this house when my uncle lived here that was just a plank on a rope tied up over twenty feet on a tree by the river and it was amazing.

i think we got snow that settled, like, once that i can recall, during my primary school years? and on that occasion school was cancelled

Though actually I think I played Math Circus 2 more than the first one.
Edit: I think that screenshot is actually Math Circus 3, which we didn't have.

tbh tragic

One time I fell off, and that's when I understood what the phrase "knocked the wind out of me" meant
Not jumping off them. I was a wussy little thing.
Literally the most daring thing I've ever done in life
