Recess Enhancement Program (REP)
Transforming Recess into Active, Engaging Playtime
Asphalt Green is elevating the recess experience for kids in our communities. Our Recess Enhancement Program (REP) partners with local elementary schools to design safe and engaging recreational programming for students to help them stay in top form—inside and outside the classroom. With more than 150 games and activities, our program offers structured, engaging playtime.
HOW IT WORKS
Asphalt Green will assign a REP Coach to partner schools to take a lead role alongside recess staff to maximize safe, active play at recess. Each coach is supported by a full-time program coordinator and a senior REP coach who will make regular visits to your school to ensure program quality. This means a substitute can be provided if the regular coach is sick or unavailable. Together, this team will help schools:
- Promote conflict resolution skills through play
- Create and improve routines to transition smoothly to and from recess
- Identify and activate useable indoor and outdoor recess spaces
- Teach students organized games and encourage them to take the lead in running them
- Encourage all students to be active no matter their age or ability
