The First Bell

Where adults learn how to play again.

Remember recess? That hour of the day when nothing mattered except who was "it," how high you could swing, and whether you'd make it across the monkey bars. Then we grew up, and somewhere along the way, playing became something kids do — and we forgot how.

SavedByRecess is here to fix that. We're a monthly gathering of grown-ups who are ready to put down the to-do lists, step away from the screens, and spend an hour or two playing like we used to. No skills needed. No experience required. No judgment — ever.

What we do: Classic games — tag, hopscotch, musical statues, red rover, and more Water balloon fights, Hide-and-Seek, and good old-fashioned silliness A safe space to be loud, be goofy, and reconnect with your inner child What it costs: Nothing. Just show up ready to play. (Bring a snack to share if you'd like.)

Who it's for: Adults who miss playing. Adults who never stopped. Adults who want to make friends without the awkward small talk. Adults who just need permission to be a kid again.

This is your permission slip. The bell's rung — come play.
