Transform your blacktop into an active, organized play space that cuts down on playground conflicts and behavior referrals. This foundational set includes six of our most popular game markings: Hopscotch, Number Line, Multi-Use Circle, Four-Square, Ball Hopscotch, and Target.



“Unlike generic stencil sets, Peaceful Playgrounds includes complete game rules, age-appropriate activity suggestions, and skill-development mapping for every marking—a solid start to your playground program, not just paint outlines.”

“This course has opened up a whole new way to look at how my current school does recess. We have actually added a second recess time due to the current research on how recess improves learning and the whole body overall. Although many concepts have been used before, I have found many new concepts that I would like to try out at my school. The course overall was well thought out, planned and had a good flow”.

– Steve Pietrzak.

The “Playground Games and Strategies to Improve Recess” course was designed to introduce administrators, teachers, substitute teachers, physical educators, parents, after-school personnel, and playground supervisors to the responsibilities and strategies associated with organizing a successful recess.

This course outlines how to make recess safe, fun, and orderly without “structuring recess”.

Want a Safe Playground?

Peaceful Playgrounds Recess Program is the Solution.

The Peaceful Playgrounds Recess Program transforms chaotic play areas into structured, inclusive, and safe environments. By clearly marking out designated game zones and providing staff with consistent training and behavior expectations, the program reduces playground conflicts and injuries. With over 100 easy-to-implement games and activities, students stay engaged and active, which naturally decreases unsafe or unsupervised behavior. The result is a calmer, more organized recess that promotes cooperation, reduces discipline issues, and ensures every child has a place to play.

RESEARCH SHOWS:

43% of playground injuries are going to or coming from the playground. We have a management system that addresses this issue within the program.

The recess program is low-cost, affordable, easy to implement and you can start now!

The Peaceful Playgrounds Program is a nationally recognized and award-winning physical activity program touching nearly 4 million children annually for over 28 years!

Research shows that if children have access to

Equipment

they choose to be active!

And most schools don't budget for playground equipment

Create active and engaging playground environments for children by providing playground equipment.

Research shows that at most schools, even if children want to be active, they don’t have the equipment they need to do so.

Plan on 1 piece of equipment per every 10 students.

Track recess trends, identify blacktop conflict zones, and protect your school with the School Playground Report form. By documenting playground incidents as they happen, administrators and safety committees gather concrete, measurable data to share with superintendents, school boards, and PTA organizations to support informed safety decisions and justify funding for playground enhancements.

Delivered as an instant, downloadable PDF, this printable form is formatted for quick reproduction on standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper. Whether logged by noon-duty supervisors, recess aides, or the school health office, these standardized incident reports turn daily blacktop observations into actionable risk-management data while communicating behavior problems with teachers and staff.
