“”WOW!!! WOW!!!! WOW!!!! What an amazing adventure! Our group got picked up by this super cool, veggie fueled, solar powered bus with bright orange and white interior. Complete with a dance floor and music bumping, our group danced our way across the streets of San Francisco in style!
All we knew is that were going to go play fun games in a really cool atmosphere, and that is exactly what we did. In between the dancing on the bus, we played some partner games on the bus that had us laughing and hugging and standing on our heads…..yes, head stands! (purely optional)
So we arrived at this secluded beach on treasure island (one of many places mobile recess goes)…After we finished [a slew of hilarious games, I hadn’t played in 20 years!] some of us jumped in the COLD, but refreshing Bay for a swim before boarding the bus again and heading back to the City. The whole thing took about 2 hours and we were back to our life as usual…just majorly refreshed! – Claudia M.,
The above gives you a good idea what went on at her side project to Messy Monkey, aka: “Mobile Recess”. To carry on with her lovely collaboration with Peter at TEACHERBUS, the 2 brought in their partners (Inke & Saul respectively), & formed MOBILE RECESS.
The concept was a quick version of play, the premise not so dissimilar to that of Messy Monkey, where they’d use the bus to take you out of the office for 2 hours total to play some classic 1980’s “recess” games in an unexpected location with views & fresh air to reboot & Refresh you for nowhere near the cost or involvement of a full day event.
