Educators, legislators, and families are continually being challenged to evaluate what priorities need to be the focus of a students’ school day. In order for students to reach their highest physical, mental, academic, and social potential, they need to be allowed the opportunity to engage in adequate amounts of physical activity. The purpose of this literature review is to explore the interplay between recess and the elementary student. To fully understand the importance of recess and other movement breaks, one needs to understand the impact of physical activity on the developing child’s body, as well as their behavior. This research explores how the amount of recess has changed over the decades, as well as ways that teachers can weave physical movement into their classroom environment. This extensive literature review concluded recess and other movement breaks help create a more positive and well-rounded elementary learning community.
