This paper investigates the impact of greening schoolyards on children's (age 7-11) play and non-play behavior
during recess.Five primary schools in The Netherlands took part in a longitudinal prospective intervention study
using a pre-post design with a baseline and two-year follow-up.During recess at baseline and follow-up, the play
behavior of children in grades 4, 5, and 6 in different target areas was videotaped with multiple cameras and
afterward coded using the cognitive play categories and non-play categories of the Play Observation Scale
(Rubin, 2001).These findings strengthen the empirical basis for greening
schoolyards by providing data from a large scale quantitative study with a controlled, longitudinal pre-post
design.Furthermore, there was an increase in games-with-rules, a small increase in
constructive and explorative play behavior, and a decrease in passive non-play behaviors.Video recordings of 352 children at baseline, and 325 children in 66 target areas at follow-up,
were divided into equal time frames of 30 seconds.Each child's behavior was coded at the 30th second of the
time frame, yielding a dataset of 17046 observations.At baseline, all schoolyards were paved.Between
baseline and follow-up, all schools greened their schoolyards.Results show an increase in observed play, as compared to
non-play, behavior, after greening.This impact of
greening was stronger for girls compared to boys.

This paper investigates the impact of greening schoolyards on children’s (age 7-11) play and non-play behavior
during recess. Five primary schools in The Netherlands took part in a longitudinal prospective intervention study
using a pre-post design with a baseline and two-year follow-up. At baseline, all schoolyards were paved. Between
baseline and follow-up, all schools greened their schoolyards. During recess at baseline and follow-up, the play
behavior of children in grades 4, 5, and 6 in different target areas was videotaped with multiple cameras and
afterward coded using the cognitive play categories and non-play categories of the Play Observation Scale
(Rubin, 2001). Video recordings of 352 children at baseline, and 325 children in 66 target areas at follow-up,
were divided into equal time frames of 30 seconds. Each child’s behavior was coded at the 30th second of the
time frame, yielding a dataset of 17046 observations. Results show an increase in observed play, as compared to
non-play, behavior, after greening. Furthermore, there was an increase in games-with-rules, a small increase in
constructive and explorative play behavior, and a decrease in passive non-play behaviors. This impact of
greening was stronger for girls compared to boys. These findings strengthen the empirical basis for greening
schoolyards by providing data from a large scale quantitative study with a controlled, longitudinal pre-post
design.
