Brennan heard the bell ring. Yay, he thought.
Its recess time. He put on his coat and got
in line behind his friend Bernie.
3
Brennans teacher said, Brennan, please come up
here and stand in front of the line. Youve
worked very hard in class today, so I want you to
be our leader. Thank you, said Brennan as he
walked to the front of the line.
4
Brennan led his class quietly down the hall.
When they got to the door, Brennan stood behind
it to hold it open for everyone in his class as
they went outside.
5
Brennan and his classmates had fun at recess.
First they played tag so they would stay warm.
Brennan raced in front of the slide just in time
to tag Bernie. Youre it! he exclaimed.
6
After they played tag, Brennan and some of his
classmates played hide-and-seek. Brennan hid
behind a big oak tree, but someone found him.
7
After the hide-and-seek game, Brennan and his
friends played follow the leader. Everyone stood
in a line, with Brennan in front of everyone
else. Everyone in the line had to copy what
Brennan did. He sure had fun being the leader.
8
The last thing Brennan did at recess was to push
Bernie on the swing. He had to stand behind
Bernie so he could give him a big push.
9
Just as he finished pushing Bernie, the bell rang
again. Gosh, said Brennan, its time to go
inside already. He got in front of the line and
led his class back to the room.

Recess is a lot of fun, thought Brennan. I
wish it would last all day!
