10 SIK-Holz® › Play and Movement Area Sedentary lifestyles are the biggest problem of our health care system. Obesity, motor weaknesses and an underdeveloped sense of balance are the consequence, already in childhood. A major requirement for the conversion or new design of school yards must therefore be a high number of opportunities for playing and movement. A schoolyard which offers many possibilities for movement can contribute decisively to the quality of the school. This requires an elaborate area layout, which allows a large number of interactions. Movement can be encouraged in a variety of ways. Small landscaping measures and different types of surfaces can help developing a range of play forms. But smooth, paved surfaces also have their charm. They are suitable for ground and ball games during the breaks as well as for skateboarding and streetball in the afternoon. Slopes invite running up and down again. Combining them with bridges, beams or ropes results in a wide array of play paths. Stairs that lead to a higher or deeper plateau are also a basic element of encouraging movement in a schoolyard. For this purpose, the classical stair dimensions can vary in height and width in order to increase attention. The arrangement of play equipment must fit the overall picture of the schoolyard. Interestingly designed climbing structures, taking into account the age structure, can both encourage movement as well as invite to relax on high-level platforms. In any case, the equipment should be designed in a way that allows access for as many children as possible. Varying surface coverings make a schoolyard come alive. The choice of cover must be in accordance with the function of the surface. Grass, for example, is only suitable on larger areas. Pavement is appropriate where a high user frequency exists and gravel or wood chips are suitable as fall protection material under play structures.
