outdoor play
Playground activity time
Outdoor play refers to recreational activity that takes place outside rather than indoors, typically involving physical movement in natural or built outdoor environments.
The term appears most often in discussions of child development, where experts emphasize its benefits for physical health, social skills, and cognitive growth.
The preschool requires at least an hour of outdoor play each day.
Parks, playgrounds, backyards, and schoolyards are common settings for outdoor play, which may be structured or free-form.
