Take a break and play like it’s recess—indoors! From 1–2 pm, Thursday through Sunday, the DC History Center puts out classic games just outside our new exhibit Class Action, which explores the history of education in Washington, DC. Join us for Connect 4, hopscotch, giant Jenga, hula hoops, colorful play parachute, and oversized tic-tac-toe. Whether you’re feeling nostalgic or just need to get the wiggles out, our “recess” games offer a playful way to explore. Free and open to all!

A person kneels on a circular rug indoors, carefully removing a block from a tall wooden stacking game while another person stands nearby watching and smiling. In the background, families sit at tables and a banner reads “DC History Center” with historic baseball imagery.
