We provide interactive training and coaching for operating structured recess for Elementary Schools. We prepare school staff to teach social emotional learning and team building through play and interaction during recess. Our program emphasizes the importance of creating a positive and inclusive environment where every student can thrive. By fostering skills such as communication, cooperation, and empathy, we help build a supportive school community.
Providing students a safe recess space is our top priority. Recess is a free place for students to choose what they would like to do, it needs to be a physically and emotionally safe space. Teachers should feel their students are safe from rough play and bullying during recess.
In order to provide a safe place for students to play and interact, structures must be put in place. Building routines for the beginning, during and end of the activity period is vital to a successful structured recess.
Preparing fun and innovative strategies to the recess yard builds engagement and relationships that can go way further than the playground. The ability to plan and modify activities to best suit specific ages of students keeps the recess yard fresh and inviting. A fun recess yard also helps enforce the structures and safety.
