Dans cet article issu du daily mail, Sarah Harris relate les inquiétudes de Karen Wilkinson, directrice d’un organisme de bienfaisance à propos du comportement qu’adoptent les élèves dans la cours de récréation.

Aujourd’hui les élèves ne jouent plus comme avant et bougent moins pendant les récréations, du fait qu’ils restent concentré sur leurs consoles de jeux ou à raconter ce qu’ils ont vu à la télévision. Ce comportement à contribuer à la mise en place d’une équipe de « ladies » dames, dans six écoles, afin d’apprendre aux enfants à s’amuser avec les jeux traditionnels. Cette expérience qui a eu un grand succès a été réitérée dans deux cent cinquante autres écoles.

On apprend par ailleurs qu’au retour de la pause de midi les élèves sont plus concentrés en classe après s’être bien dépensé aux jeux.

Of more the traditional game is often made in groups, the children thus learn.

For me, the traditional games have only positive points because it is a physical activity and it is well known that the physical activity returns us to calm.
