What: <\/strong>Colorado Recess Day
\nWhen: <\/strong>Friday, October 5, 2012
\nWhere:<\/strong> Infinity Park, South Fields
\nWho:<\/strong> Everyone is welcome!
\nTime: <\/strong>11:30am – 1pm<\/p>\n

Remember when running was effortless because it was all a part of the game?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember when you could hula hoop without even trying?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember when all you wanted was 10 more minutes of recess before you had to go back to class? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The American Academy of Pediatrics explains that play is vital to keep children healthy, and to help them reach important social, emotional, and cognitive developmental milestones. Play also helps children manage stress and builds their resiliency. In its 2007 report, \u201cThe Importance of Play in Promoting Healthy Child Development,\u201d the Academy advocates for more opportunities for play, stating: \u201cPlay allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite these facts, across the board, play is at risk. In addition to the cuts in recess, many lowincome children live in areas where safety is a concern. They thus have less opportunity to play freely outside. Playworks\u2019 mission is to improve the health and well-being of children by increasing opportunities for safe, meaningful play.<\/p>\n

Playworks Denver created Colorado Recess Day to bring awareness to the importance of play and physical activity at every age. This is a chance for adults to rekindle the curiosity of childhood with a couple hours of games and food.<\/p>\n

But this is no ordinary recess, it\u2019s recess reversal! Our 4th and 5th grade Junior Coaches will be using the skills they\u2019ve learned at Playworks to help us remember what it\u2019s like to have fun playing games outside. They\u2019ll be leading their favorite games at 4 different game stations and we\u2019ll also have hula hoops, jump ropes and a corn-hole toss to play with.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve revisited your childhood, you can visit one of the 3 delicious food trucks at the park for lunch.<\/p>\n

We will be giving away fun door prizes and telling you a bit about what makes Playworks so successful at accelerating learning through play in schools.<\/p>\n

Come play recess the Playworks way!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
