Promote Healthy Play in Colorado Schools!
Diminishing opportunities for unsupervised play in our society have left kids with less knowledge of traditional recess games, less experience resolving conflicts independently, and fewer strategies for making play fun, inclusive, and safe enough to avoid trips to the Principal’s office.
The playground is a natural place for kids to learn and grow, and to put what they are learning in the classroom into action. Playworks is the leading organization both in Colorado and Nationally leveraging the power of play to bring out the best in every kid.
Elementary students with strong social competencies are 54 percent more likely to earn a high school diploma, twice as likely to attain a college degree, and 46 percent more likely to have a full-time job by age 25. Unfortunately, numerous Colorado school children are not gaining these skills.
