we had to make sure during recess the kids were MOVING. In warm weather they were not allowing to just SIT and talk. They had to MOVE, run, go on the equipment, etc. They had outdoor recess unless it was raining, snowing, snow on the ground, or the temps were under 32 degrees. Well, when it was very cold outside, nobody wanted to just SIT during recess. Cold temps make you want to move anyway.

In Florida it's a different story. HOT almost all the time. Who wants a kid on a basketball court when the temp on that court is 120 degrees?
