Definition:

Active play may involve symbolic activity or games with or without clearly defined rules; the activity may be unstructured/unorganized, social or solitary, but the distinguishing features are a playful context, combined with an activity that is significantly above resting metabolic rate. Active play tends to occur sporadically, with frequent rest periods, which makes it difficult to record.

Benchmarking:

% of children and youth who engage in unstructured/unorganized active play for several hours a day.

% of children and youth who report being outdoors for several hours a day.
