recreation time
Break for fun
Recreation time is a designated period for leisure activities, relaxation, or play, distinct from work or structured obligations.
The term appears most often in institutional contexts—schools, prisons, summer camps—where schedules formally allocate time for unstructured activity: Inmates get one hour of recreation time in the yard.
Outside institutions, people simply call it free time.
