AS long as it isn't horrid out, they go outside. In a 485 sq foot room, there just isn't enough of it to go around. If they have to be inside I try to get everyone seated and feed them fruit and pretzels as long as possible.
To be honest, it's been such a challenge and hassle over the years that I have eliminated almost all of my after schoolers. The only ones I have left are 2 and they are both okay to go inside the house and play with my daughters in their rooms so it's not such a big deal now.
I would love to do more after school stuff if I had a separate space for them indoors to set up study areas and video game stuff.
