The Play On! Program is an exciting
opportunity to extend our physical
education classroom to the outdoors.
Through creative learning, the Play On!
curriculum arouses the student’s sense
of curiosity, imagination and adventure
to achieve a healthy, active lifestyle.

Active play in outdoor environments is the gateway to a healthier lifestyle.

Due to its natural and voluntary nature, play is the most effective strategy for increasing physical activity in children.When Students Are More Active At School
20% More Likely to Earn a Higher Grade
According to the research found in PlayOn!, students who are more active during the day are 20% more likely to earn an A in math or English. So what better way to prepare children for life than to increase their math AND English skills?
Consider adding playground structures, outdoor obstacle courses, playground swing sets, or other school play equipment that keeps children active during recess!
6% Increase in Standardized Test Scores
Increased physical activity throughout the school day and your campus helps increase standardized test scores by 6% over 3 years. That's a huge difference!
You can also combine play with outdoor education to help children better retain subject matter. Playgrounds and classroom education go hand-in-hand.
Just One Physically Active Lesson Makes a Massive Difference
Just one physically active lesson each week creates a 13% increase in students' physical activity and decreases 21% of teachers' time managing behavior. Instead of calling down students for 12 minutes, you can drop knowledge for the entire hour-long class!
Create opportunities for children to play, move, explore, and socialize with friends using commercial playground equipment.
Active Schools Partner
Play is critical to children’s physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development. That is why we partner with Active Schools - the national initiative dedicated to ensuring 60 minutes of physical activity a day is a norm in K-12 schools.
The Active Schools national collaborative makes it easier for schools to create an Active School environment by streamlining physical education and physical activity resources, programs, grants, and professional development.
Play Systems
We designed play structures using the guidelines found in PlayOn! to ensure they provide all six essential play elements. These play systems are affordable, keep students physically active during recess, and qualify for National Demonstration Site designation.
