SCHOOLS 2015
Recess? Yes.
From the beginning, recess seemed to be a good idea. Fresh
air and sunshine. Channeling youthful energy. Giving teachers
(sometimes) a chance to catch their breath. What’s not to love?
As it turns out, recess does even more. Research shows that
while kids are on the playground, they’re building physical, emotional
and social skills. Daily recess is linked to academic achievement and
cognitive skills including concentration, memory and self–esteem.
So let the recess bells ring. And let the kids out to play.
Together, we can keep unstructured play alive and well: by
building spaces that cultivate play. Sustaining it for generations.
And sharing what makes great play—and why it matters.

T
o the casual observer, recess may seem to be an optional “nice–
to–have” in the school day. But educators have long understood—and
research is now confirming—the important whole–child development
taking place while kids enjoy the self–directed play of recess.
The Great Recess Reduction started in the 1980s, when schools
began trimming time from recess to devote to academic preparation.
The trend continued, spurred even more by No Child Left Behind in 2001.
The recess reductions, however, didn’t help test scores. And, in
recent years, a growing body of research reveals that better educational
outcomes aren’t a simple matter of increasing classroom time. In fact,
studies show that recess generates a rich spectrum of benefits.
Academic / Cognitive
Periodic recess breaks improve academic
achievement, and attempts to improve academic
outcomes by eliminating recess may actually have
the opposite effect. Active, hands–on play at recess
promotes development of intellectual constructs,
cognitive understanding, problem solving skills and
leadership qualities.
Social
Recess
Rediscovered
Reading, writing, ‘rithmetic … and,
back by popular demand, recess.
2
Recess provides opportunities to practice
cooperation, negotiation and sharing. While
playing with peers at recess, kids learn respect for
rules, self–discipline, problem solving and conflict
resolution skills.
Emotional
Recess has been found to build self–determination,
self–esteem and self–regulation—skills critical to
managing stress at school. It’s also time when
nurturing friendships are formed, helping to
promote positive school associations.
Physical
Regular recess helps kids enjoy physical activity.
Daily recess builds strength, coordination,
cardiovascular and fitness while moderating
childhood obesity. And kids who get physical
activity at school are more likely to be physically
active at home.
Creative
The child–initiated pretend play that happens
during recess engages children in considering
multiple perspectives, playfully maniputating ideas
and emotions, enhancing cognitive integration, and
expanding divergent thinking skills.

Play unites
us all.
Our new Unity™ collection draws from the past
to propel school playgrounds forward.
On school playgrounds, certain
structures are timeless. The slide. The
climbing dome. The monkey bars. Our
parents and our grandparents loved them.
So why fix something that’s not broken?
Kids today are growing up in a much
different environment, with different
options, needs, and expectations. So, while
the “old school” play structures still work,
we’ve enhanced play value by adding new
relevance and engagement.
We opened up sight lines—to promote
eye contact, interaction, socialization
and more effective monitoring. We also
opened up options—offering multiple
paths in, on and around the equipment.
Going from linear flow to open flow means
simultaneous play for more kids—and less
waiting in line.
Multiple play paths also invite more
creative play. There’s no one “right way”
to play on Unity designs. That encourages
creative problem solving, imagination, and
collaboration. Not to mention increased
play engagement and plenty of exercise.
That’s the essence of Unity. Connecting
long-standing play forms with state–of–the art
design and play influences. Connecting kids
with their own abilities, and with each other.
And connecting schools with great play.

Unity Collection
Slide Climber Ages 5–12
The traditional slide play pattern was climb up,
slide down. Our new slide gives kids new ways
to interact and play. This means several children
can play on this at a time. Various materials also
provide a sensory experience.
ZZXX0346 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $11,000

The Unity Collection was designed to bring people together. To
connect in ways they never could before. By designing playground
equipment that allows for multiple kids to interact and engage from a
multi-point approach to each piece, we’ve opened up the possibilities
for play. No bottlenecks, no waiting—just play! And that’s important
at recess to maximize kids’ play time.

Augusta Evans
Elementary
All-inclusive dedication to play
Sharing on the playground and working to earn money for their
school—Augusta Evans’ students learn life skills inside and out.
18
Playworld representative: Southern Playgrounds, Inc.
For Augusta Evans School in Mobile, Alabama,
the new school building was a welcome update. But
with limited budget, the project did not include a
playground. Teachers and administrators knew they
had to fill the gap.
Augusta Evans School is specialized—serving
only kids with cognitive and physical disabilities.
Children with special needs are more prone to
obesity and diabetes. And children with ADHD
and/or autism need outlets for excess energy.
The benefits of play were not optional here.
So fundraising began. Volunteers hosted golf
outings, sold bricks, and reconditioned Mardi Gras
beads for resale. Principal Allen Baggett launched
a speaking tour of local organizations, barbecues,
biker clubs, anywhere people were standing still.
And people responded, including a major donation
from the Rotary Club of Mobile.
Then came the next challenge: finding the
right partner to build a playground for kids with
special needs.
Principal Baggett reseached all the options,
locally, regionally, nationally. He talked to lots
of people. Then he chose Playworld. “I needed
someone who specialized in play,” he says. “This
playground needed to be great.”
Baggett worked with Warren Schlender, Playworld
rep at Southern Playgrounds of Marietta, Georgia.
“Warren came to see the school and meet the kids,”
Bagget says. “He got a sense for what we needed, and
gave us ideas, options and a plan.”
The result is lots of fun and exercise for the kids,
and lots of specialized features to accommodate
diverse abilities. In fact, the playground is A–rated
for inclusivity, thanks to a full range of activities,
challenge levels, cozy spaces (for sensory relief),
transfer stations and wheelchair access.
Principal Baggett highlights other features, too,
including the surface material. “A lot of our kids
have challenges with getting around. Between that
and potential falls, I like knowing our kids are safe.”
The NEOS® 360°—an electronic challenge game
with lights and touch pads—is a center of attention,
prompting lots of friendly competition. “It wears
them out,” Baggett says. “It wears me out!”
The playground gets rave reviews from
students and teachers alike. It’s helped everyone
make the emotional transition to the new school,
and it helps the kids focus in class—so they can get
back outside for more recess.
It took a lot of hard work to bring the power of
play to the Augusta Evans kids. But considering the
physical, emotional and social benefits, we’d say it
was well worth the effort.

The
Finland
Factor
What do we make of Finland’s
educational success?
Ranking near the top of the Programme for International
Student Assessment* (PISA) for a decade, Finland has
come to mean different things to different people.
Depending on your point of view, Finland could be:
A. The gold
standard by
which all other
schools should
be measured
B. An apples
to oranges
comparison
to the U.S.
C. An inspiring
success story &
potential source
of insights
D. Evidence
that saunas
make people
smarter
As an educator, there’s a good chance you’ve encountered the Finland question. Maybe
you’ve had spirited debates about it. Maybe you’re sick of hearing about it.
There are infinite ways to interpret the data and connect the dots. Some things, though,
are clear: since overhauling their highly structured educational system some forty years
ago, Finnish students now spend on average 300 fewer hours in the classroom per year
compared to U.S. students.
They have more recess. In
fact, Finnish students typically
spend 15 minutes at recess
for every 45 minutes in the
classroom.
Average number of
hours spent in class
Yet they outperform the U.S.
(and most other countries)
academically.
The Finns understand how
play can power education.
It shows in the test scores.
Also in the research. Studies
confirm that regular recess
breaks improve classroom
focus and performance.
It’s time to reevaluate
our school systems, our
playgrounds, and our attitude
toward unstructured play and
recess.

Taking Play
Personally
I have fond memories of play. Everyone does. For me, it resonates
with the memory of coming home from school, putting on old jeans,
and taking off on my bike to discover new adventures. I’ve never
outgrown the thrill and awe of the power of play.
A number of experts, educators, and families agree—unstructured
outdoor play helps kids grow physically, emotionally, socially and
cognitively. The benefits last a lifetime.
The research affirms our commitment to creating great play.
It’s a commitment shared by three generations of my family, and all
of us at Playworld. That’s our difference. Unlike investment driven
companies, we’re family owned and operated. It gives us the freedom
to determine our own mission. And it’s simple: create meaningful
unstructured play opportunities for today’s children.
From our fabricators and designers in Pennsylvania throughout
our worldwide network of
distributors, the entire team
understands our mission.
We’re not just making
playground equipment. We’re in
the kid–empowering, confidence–
building, friendship–making,
health–promoting, communitystrengthening business.
For more than forty years,
we’ve collaborated with people
like you to create great play opportunities. We consider it a privilege,
and a responsibility. Thanks for your interest in Playworld, and for all
you do to promote play!
The playground is the last sacred
space where kids can play and parents
can feel comfortable. We’ve got to give
them the opportunity to discover their
childhood on their own terms.
Playfully,
Matthew M. Miller
CEO / Husband / Father / Son
