Today with screen time a major part of a child's life, many do not get outside to play on a daily basis at home. On average, American children spend four to seven minutes a day in unstructured outdoor play compared to seven or more hours in front of a screen. I would like to have more play equipment for my students to use during recess time. I would like to entice them to want to play outside and stay outside for an extended period of time.
Getting enough outside active play in the day, builds physically healthier children, contributes to cognitive, social/emotional development , and increases attention spans. Spending time outside fosters happiness and builds immunity.
