Hmm, that is an interesting idea. Not sure how well Playworks would be integrated into most schools and part of me doubts all students would be interested in participating.

Myself, recess was a time to relax and recharge. I mostly kept to myself without worrying about others. There might be others I could see wanting to do their own thing and many I feel might be unsure of having an adult such as the couches paying attention to them out of class.

Again though, it has been a very long time since I ever had recess and I am sure times have changed. Admittedly I also don't remember much of my youth, so perhaps there would be times I might have been appreciative of Playworks.
