Recess

Ask any elementary student about their favorite part of the school day and the answer will likely be “recess!” While recess may be fun for students, it’s also an important opportunity to support students physical, social, and emotional learning and development. 

Healthier Generation recommends elementary schools offer 20 minutes of daily recess. We provide tools, resources, and training to help you do this effectively. Get started!
