This paper presents our experience implementing the educational program Recreo en Casa (Recess at home), which aims to impact on the socioemotional development of children and adolescents through play. This is a training program for school staff members who take part in supervising students’ recess (teachers, directors, and other school staff members), to acquire tools and skills that will enable them to build a Play Culture in the school community and to create playful experiences in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and long-distance education. This paper presents the experience of 14 schools in Chile, supplemented by theory on the benefits of play for students’ wellbeing and their socioemotional, physical, and cognitive development. We also question the role of recess-staff members as key actors in the construction of a positive environment during recess time.

Palabras llave : play; socio-emotional development; school wellbeing; learning; recess.
