## About

During winter break the Lorain Branch borrows the school-day ritual of indoor recess: children play word games such as Hangman and Mad Libs to practise literacy, then group games such as Heads Up, Seven Up and Simon Says that build thinking and social skills. The session runs Monday, December 21, 2026 from 4 to 5 p.m. and is listed for children ages 6 to 11 and teens. It is free and part of the library's school-break programming.
