Everyone remembers the excitement we felt as kids when the daily bell rang for the recess period - a chance to break free of the school desks and textbooks for game, running around, and laughing. Do you also recall the uplifting energy and vitality your body felt with all those fun activities? You should still be enjoying that much daily fun, even as an adult.

Each Thursday in October 2020, we have a new adult-age recess activity/game for you to play. Take a 30-minute break from your studies, work, and stress to rejuvenate your mind and body. Just a little bit of playtime and fun will improve your attitude, your focus, and your success for the day.
