Our priority is to take actions for everyone\u2019s safety. We are following CDC and state\/local health agency guidelines and are partnering with schools with an aim of preventing the spread of the virus, while also caring for our employees and their families. Our actions include having employees work at home, changing policies and practices, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we join other organizations in changing the way we work for the coming weeks, there is one other thing we are putting in place that we hope will help families whose children are at home and the teachers scrambling to provide online classes. We\u2019ll be highlighting a series of Playworks games on our social media channels in the coming weeks. These will be games that can be played at home with a small number of children or larger groups in schools that are open. Follow along using #PlayworksAtHome and #PlayAtHome. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn how to play Crack the Code in the video below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FljuNtVc_-g\" width=\"460\" height=\"215\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>We hope you will share these free games through your networks to help us make sure they get to as many children as possible. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please follow Playworks on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Playworks\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MakeRecessCount\/\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/playworksrecess\/\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/playworks\/\">LinkedIn<\/a> so you receive these notifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will get through this together as one Playworks community.
