Fun lunch time getaway had by all who joined Playworks for a game of rock, paper, scissors at the Arizona State Capitol on May 16, 2022.<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe Grand Canyon State modeled true bipartisan leadership this week thru a lively round of Rock Paper Scissors at the State Capitol,\u201d Playworks Arizona Advisory Board Member Emily Anne Gullickson said. \u201cWe know kids who are engaged in recess are more likely to participate in class, which means better attendance and greater academic success. We are grateful for the policymakers and leaders from the Capitol community who participated in our inaugural event and helped us showcase the value of Play in our schools across the state.<\/p>\n

\u201dSuperintendent Kathy Hoffman, Arizona Senator Paul Boyer, Arizona Representatives David Cook, Steve Kaiser, Jennifer Longdon, Judy Schwiebert & Michelle Udall all participated in the tournament\u00a0and\u00a0were joined by state capitol employees and visitors.<\/p>\n

Attendees competed in pairs, until we got to a final pair; each participant hoping to throw the winning rock, paper or scissors at the right time. High five to Senate Education Chairman Paul Boyer who walked away as the winner\u00a0of\u00a0the day!<\/p>\n

“It’s wonderful to see students outside and solving problems through play. You can never go wrong with a friendly competition of rock paper scissors! In fact, legislators at all levels of government could use more team building and collaboration through play.”\u00a0Senator Paul Boyer, Education Chairman<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Across the nation Playworks is attempting to break the current Guinness World record for largest rock, paper, scissors tournament.\u00a0 This is the 6th\u00a0mini\u00a0tournament held in Arizona for Playworks\u00a0in an effort to break the record. Arizona\u2019s efforts began in October\u00a02021\u00a0with a fundraising event, followed by a corporate tournament in April and three school wide tournaments at partner\u00a0current Playworks\u00a0schools; Emerson (PESD), Cheatham (LESD) and Copper Trails (AESD).<\/p>\n

\u201cPlayworks uses rock, paper, scissors as a conflict resolution tool with students at our partner schools. Not only does it help to resolve conflicts, but it is fun as well. It was great to see lawmakers having\u00a0fun with this simple\u00a0tool\u00a0which\u00a0students across the valley use daily. Arizona is also proud and excited to contribute to beating the world record,\u201d said Kerryann Tomlinson, Playworks Vice President, Field Operations<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Special thanks to the\u00a0Playworks\u00a0Arizona Advisory\u00a0board members Emily Anne Gullickson, Mary Hickey Reynoso & Davida Redmond for\u00a0attending and\u00a0supporting the event\u00a0and\u00a0M\u00e0s Bilingual\u00a0Marketing\u00a0for documenting this historical event via photo and KB Woods via video.<\/p>\n
