As health, education, and play researchers, we value recess. And in that, we know that everyone has a recess story.
Your recess story might have one very specific memory. Or you might have several memories about recess. Or possibly (hopefully) you’re still making recess stories!
Some are happy; others maybe not.
The question is… what is your recess story? And how has it shaped your life?
Our goal is to tell your stories in a somewhat organized fashion: to edit a book, exciting readers and inspiring advocacy for this essential/critical/undervalued/overlooked part of a student’s academic day.
Share this website with your friends and colleagues, please. Encourage them to share their recess stories so they, too will be part of
