Play Ground
I. Introduction
The playgrounds at elementary schools are the first place where children begin to develop their social skills. Playgrounds not provide a sanctuary and are the first place where children learn to deal with other people, but allow children to learn valuable social skills. Playgrounds also provide a location where numerous young friendships are started. Athletic facilities, not only can new, or renovated fields, stadiums, or gyms bolster community spirit, but they offer spaces for school kids to establish a regular physically active lifestyle at a young age, an extremely important preventative strategy for combating chronic disease and obesity. Furthermore, athletics provide outlets for students to develop important skills such as leadership, persistence, practice, and group responsibility, among others. In this way, sports help to ‘educate the whole person’ and promote ‘socio-emotional’ learning – topics we have discussed at length as important, perhaps critical, to education.
