playground time
Kids' free period
Playground time is the period during a school day when children are allowed outside for unstructured play, typically called recess in American English.
The term emphasizes the duration rather than the activity: The kids get thirty minutes of playground time after lunch.
Parents and educators sometimes use it when discussing schedules or child development.
