  • Kindergartners Get Little Time To Play Summary

    1374 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I was in kindergarten we were allowed three recesses. This seems like a lot compared to today's students who are only allowed one fifteen-minute recess. During my recesses I do not remember focusing on academics. I was usually playing with friends and working on problem solving without even realising it. Most of the time we would play two hand touch football. At first glance this does not seem very academic, and to be fair it wasn’t exactly. I was not learning academically but I was learning in other areas. Playing sports is a great way to build teamwork, as well as learning how to work together to solve problems. In the classroom I was learning how to solve math problems by myself, which was not giving me a chance to try and solve problems with my peers. This playtime gave me the chance to work with friends and build relationships, which is hard to do in only 15 minutes. So, while I believed that I was giving my brain a break from learning, I was actually still learning in different areas. My experience with recess leads me to believe that allowing playtime throughout the day is not only a good thing for learning academically, but is also very important because it gives the students a chance to work on other areas of development that are usually brushed over in school

    Ah recess, the highlight of the elementary school days, no work to do, just running around outside, but did it really benefit us? Many people across the world are against recess because they believe it takes time away from learning. In addition, some parents value the education more than letting their kids have a break during school, which leads them to believe that recess is no good. What they don’t know is that recess actually benefits their kids. Kids should have recess because it helps them build social skills, reset their brains for future information to be learned in the day, and improve their mental function through regular fitness.

  • Impact of Recess on Classroom Behavior

    1116 Words  | 3 Pages

    Research was done to determine the effect of a recess break on classroom behavior; specifically working, fidgeting, and listlessness. A southern urban school district with a ‘no recess policy’, granted permission for two grade 4 classes to have recess once a week so that behavior on recess days could be compared to that of behavior on non-recess days. Because recess was not in the normal daily schedule, the students would not anticipate it, and this anticipation could not effect the results. The days for recess were chosen randomly so that a pattern would not develop and be anticipated.

A student athlete’s perspective claims, “I'd rather not be at softball practice till eight at night when it is pitch black because some people have a problem with getting up at six in the morning because they go to bed at midnight,”(Should Schools Start).

  • Kids Worst Nightmares

Most children look forward to recess every day and some could even play everyday all day if they could.
