We could all use a break. This guide to the schoolyard games of childhood is “something special” (The Wall Street Journal).

“Remember, your 30-year-old self isn’t quite as adept at dodging a ball as your 10-year-old self was, but spending your lunch hour at work playing in the parking lot is a lot better than catching up on your friends’ boring Facebook updates.” —Gizmodo
