Take The Recess Checkup

  1. Updates

Know your play space

It can be hard to understand the impact that your play space has on your school’s culture and your students’ experience. And while there are a lot of solutions worth trying, it’s tough to know what’s working and what’s not.

That’s why we’ve created the Recess Checkup—an online quiz designed to help you identify strengths and uncover areas for improvement. Take our three-minute checkup, and we’ll help you understand what’s really happening in your play space. And don’t worry—we won’t share your results with anyone.
