Ready, Set, Play.

The power of recess is huge. During this time, children can be themselves with little stimulation to be creative. During recess they are still learning social skills such as getting along with others and avoiding conflict. While children play, they are clearing their minds of all pressures of learning. With a clear mind after recess children can begin to focus again on learning. Special Education teachers can use recess as a tool to observe troubled students due to the fact the children are in their natural element. Another added bonus to recess can keep children physically and mentally healthy.
