This fun and colorful infographic celebrates 34 facts and quotes by health experts and play advocates that focus on the importance of play. Parents and educators both agree that recess is a crucial element to a child's learning and well-being, and the reasons presented on this whimsical visual prove it. With some schools cutting down to just 15 minute reprieves for overworked students (and sometimes no recess at all), learning is sabotaged by stress and an inability to focus. Plus, without recess, kids are denied the opportunity to learn communication and leadership skills through socializing with their peers. Every animal and human being deserves to play and partake in hobbies, especially children. The mission of this infographic is to convince policymakers to make ample playtime a reality for every child!
