Children need these brain breaks to also promote social skills that are needed for the social skills needed for collaboration and team work

Children need time during the day to interact with Eachother. To feel free to play and use their imagination. It is so much harder on them to be couped up all day and expected to be functioning like robots. You will see better behavior and cooperation from kids when you allow them to do what they are supposed to do. Play!

I am in college now, but when I was younger recess helped me take a break from being over worked by teachers and it helped me make more Friends. It helped me academically since games involve thinking, such as soccer which promotes strategizing to win the game.

Recess is vital!! And not 10-15 minutes. It's should definitely be longer than 20 minutes!

Studies show that outdoor exercise helps brain function. More recess will likely have a positive impact on test scores.

Please consider evidence-based means of improving academics and student health and well-being by providing a dose of movement, social interactivity and creative time. It has been documented repeatedly that physical exertion, even in small doses, can improve student focus.
