Offering Recess before Lunch Research

As schools evaluate their Local Wellness Policies, one easy procedure to consider for improving student's eating habits is to offer recess before lunch. The Action for Healthy Kids® website contains numerous resources reiterating the numerous benefits of this kind of school day scheduling. The benefits include:

  1. Improved cafeteria atmosphere

  2. Less supervision in the cafeteria

  3. Fewer classroom discipline problems, after lunch

  4. Increase in classroom time on-task

  5. Increased milk, vegetable, and entrée consumption

  6. Decreased number of nurse visits for stomach aches after recess
