When Alyssa McChristian transitioned from classroom teaching to a remote position in EdTech, she quickly noticed the need for more opportunities for play during the workday. The traditional "after-work virtual happy hour" lost its charm after spending hours in front of a computer, and she found herself longing for the playful moments that were a natural part of her elementary school teaching experience.
This realization led her to consider a fundamental question: If we understand that children need short breaks during the day to express their creativity and move their bodies to stay productive, why don't we extend the same consideration to adults?
Enter: Recess.
Alyssa began organizing short "breaks" for her teammates, inspired by the activities she once planned for her elementary students—mini art projects, gardening sessions, and yoga breaks. These activities, each lasting just a few minutes, left her colleagues feeling connected and refreshed, providing the perfect interlude between meetings.
