Recess should be a time for connection and fun. For many students, though, it becomes a daily challenge filled with social missteps and emotional overload.
In this free, 1-hour webinar, you’ll learn how to transform recess into a structured opportunity for social skills.
Everyday Speech clinicians will guide you through:
Proactive strategies to teach joining games, navigating conflict, and managing big feelings
Regulation routines that help students reset before and after recess
Practical tools to respond to conflict and support emotional recovery in the moment
You’ll leave with ready-to-use visuals, routines, and video modeling lessons that promote independence, empathy, and confidence on the playground and beyond.
Perfect for elementary educators, support staff, and specialists, this session will help you bring calm to the chaos and equip students with tools they can use for life.
