I think that "playtime" is an essential part of the school day for students, mainly in elementary school. There are so many positive things that come out of playtime. First of all, elementary students cannot possibly sit in a classroom all day without a chance to release their energy. Playtime for this reason, helps children stay focused and not to ancy. It also gives them a chance to move around and stretch their legs. Another reason playtime is important is because children at the elementary level need to be active. There are so many problems with weight these days in young children, that without playtime, students would have little to no physical activity during the day. Playtime is also very important because it gives children the chance to interact with eachother.
