Somewhere in the world right now there are kids still in the classroom. We will tell you why every school should have recess.

Recess gives your brain a break from learning. Sometimes kids can get stressed out from all of the learning and sometimes, that can cause kids to get in trouble at school. Kids can get frustrated and overwhelmed during school as well and the break can help them concentrate more in class because it helps you to release energy.

Kids can play football, and play on the swings, slides, and the field. When they are out at recess running around, they are getting exercise, which helps your body and they can get Vitamin D from the sun. All of this is healthy! They can also roleplay by playing games like cops and robbers. You can pretend to be in a jail cell and break out while the “police” chase you. Roleplaying is a good thing because you get to use your imagination, be creative, and explore new things with your friends.

Taking recess away from scholars would be a bad thing because they wouldn’t be able to get their energy out and their brains would be overworked. Now you know why scholars should have recess every day!
