Why Recess Matters Lab
Because how recess happens depends on you
Reading Why Recess Matters is just the beginning.
The Lab is where we put it into play.
Join Dr. Cathy Ramstetter for a virtual or in-person
Play Shop designed for parents, educators, students, school teams, and community partners who are ready to become Recess Champions.
Every Play Shop is designed to help you move from
“We know recess matters” to
“Here’s what we’re going to do about it.”
These aren’t sit-and-listen workshops.
Come with ideas and questions.
We’ll talk, play, problem-solve, and plan together.
Bring a team from your school community to work side by side and
explore what quality recess could look like for your students.
You’ll dig into real challenges, discover practical solutions, and build a Game Plan
that fits your school and community.
Leave with tools, partners, and an actionable Game Plan for improving recess at your school, across your district, throughout your state—or all three.
