American students take part in different activities at recess. The energetic students often play basketball, but they never have time to play a whole game. They just practice scoring goals.

Some of the children, mainly boys, swap baseball cards. These pictures of baseball players come in packets of candy. They swap cards with their friends, so they can get the ones they want.
