Pledge to Save Play in Our Schools!
Recess periods are shrinking. Homework is increasing. Tag, soccer, and even running are getting banned on the schoolyard. Cities are building new schools without playgrounds.
Despite countless studies proving that play is integral to children's learning and health, most kids aren't getting enough space and time to play during the school day.
Are you a parent or educator who is concerned that your school is all work and no play? Defend our children's right to play by signing our Back-to-School Pledge!
Sign our pledge and we'll get you started with a PDF copy of How to Save Play at Your School -- featuring 15 action ideas for teachers and parents to make school grounds and school days more playful.
[Preview]
In honor of our 15th birthday, every 15th person to sign our pledge will get a FREE copy (while supplies last) of our CEO and Founder's New York Times bestselling book, KaBOOM!: How One Man Built a Movement to Save Play.
