Write a letter
Are your kids restless because recess time keeps getting shorter and shorter, or because your school board doesn’t budget for playground repairs? Say something!

Write a letter to the editor. Explain why play is important to kids’ social, cognitive, and physical development. For some kids, recess is the only time they get to engage in unstructured play each day. Demand the return of recess and great places for your kids to play at school!
