More and more kids are electing to play games on their electronic devices instead of taking advantage of opportunities to exercise, interacting with other kids, and enjoying the great outdoors. At the same time, 50% of schools no longer have recess. We must do something! As kids, games played at recess were a way to make new friends, learn discipline, exercise, improve your negotiating skills, strengthen your leadership skills, showcase your athletic talents, and resolve conflicts.
This summer, Recess Cleveland will host over 50 FREE events all over the city of Cleveland. And we hope to attract over 10,000 people to our events over the course of the year.
