Thank you for joining the Playworks Michigan community!
From test scores to school culture, from safety to inclusion, today’s elementary schools have many important priorities. But at too many schools, recess is an overlooked opportunity for accomplishing these goals.
Playworks offers research-based services and resources to help schools make recess count. Here are some free resources to get you started!
At Playworks, we have 20 years of experience working with elementary schools, and we’ve found that a great recess means fewer fights, fewer injuries, and fewer trips to the principal’s office—and students return to class ready to learn. Recess can be a time for children to gain the experience that prepares them for success in and out of the classroom.
