• W841128242 abstract "Gone are the days when kids walked to school, played in creeks, and spent endless hours unsupervised outdoors in all seasons and weather. Recess at school was a time to relax from the focus of the classroom, stretch your legs, hang with friends, test your strength, engage in organized games, or spend time creating imaginative worlds of your own creation. As kids, many of us thought this was the most important part of the day--the time when we were free to be ourselves. It was the time when kid culture was at the forefront of our day, where our ideas ruled, and kids determined the dynamics of each moment. Do you remember those periods of long recess times from your childhood? And what about your out-of-school time--were you a free-range kid? Did you have opportunities to explore, create, and discover on your own or with friends without the direction of adults? What about children today? Many adults have fond memories of free, unstructured during our childhood days. In our hearts, we understand the importance of recess and time for all ages in our schools. But we also understand the current climate of academic testing, standards, school ratings, funding restrictions, and so on. Couple the push to excel and leave no children behind with the fear of injury, accidents, and lawsuits on playgrounds, and it's no wonder there's been a shift in playtime during the school day. School districts across the country have been slowly limiting recess and children's free time at schools with many schools taking the drastic step of eliminating recess altogether. Well-intentioned school boards and administrators desperate for more academic time to help children learn and grow have weighed options and made difficult choices, with some districts opting to cut recess and break time in favor of more class time endeavors. This philosophy appears to hold that more time working and less time playing will make smarter students. Teachers and schools that have taken this to the extreme even withhold recess from students as a form of punishment. Transforming recess As a natural playground and schoolyard designer, I've been working with schools across the U.S. and around the world that are not only keeping recess as a vital part of their students' days but extending and enhancing recess by adding materials to the outside space to inspire children's self-directed play. These new patterns boost creativity, problem-solving skills, mental focus, and collaborative social play. These schools are part of a new movement to bring back into the lives of children of all ages. They've discovered that limiting children's access to free and recess actually has a detrimental effect on children's attention spans, academic abilities, and enthusiasm for school in general. Pushing more academics and limiting free time and exhausts children and teachers alike and can lead to many schools experiencing more challenging behavior issues in classrooms and more stress on teachers, students, and families.

Finland, for example, which is highly lauded for its performance on international tests, also boasts the longest recess of any country in the world (the average Finnish student has 75 minutes a day of recess and teachers give the kids a 15-minute break after every lesson). According to TVNZ, after Swanson Primary School in Auckland, New Zealand, did away with rules on the playground for a university research study, the results went so well that the school opted to make the changes permanent. The school saw a drop in bullying, serious injuries, and vandalism while concentration levels in class increased (TVNZ, 2014). School districts across England are adding play pods to recess--storage units filled with loose materials with which children can create their own opportunities and change their own environment, experiences that fixed playground equipment and blacktop cannot provide. …" @default.
