Make Recess Count

Recess can be one of the most important parts of the school day. A positive, productive recess and play can give students the opportunity for physical activity and let them learn valuable social skills like teamwork, cooperation and conflict resolution. Many schools, however, are cutting down on recess time or sometimes even eliminating it all together.

Here are four ways you can make recess count:

• Bring Playworks to your city
• If we’re already in your city, learn how to bring Playworks to your school
• View available workshops from Playworks Training
• Download games that will get kids playing
