Breaks are important. Human beings are not machines, even machines need a break. Moreover, one can get saturated with continuous work. Employees get these break times to rejuvenate themselves. Each one has their own way and some might find playing games good way to rejuvenate. If employees are rejuvenated and refreshed, the productivity and efficiency increases.
Will it be OK to let you know your employees play during their break?

I believe that workers have the right to do anything they want to do with their break because it is their free time to relax before they start working again. They can play if they want.
There are many companies that have offer games as well during the break. This is to make sure that they refresh themselves. I think that this is quite important for the mental health of employess.
I think employees can do whatever they like during the break. Some may prefer to have a cup of coffee or tea, some prefer to take a nap, some enjoy playing games. As long as the activity helps the employee relax and get back to work feeling refreshed, it should be okay.
If I was a business owner then it would be fine for my employees to play during their recess. They need activities that can reduce stress due to workload. The important thing is not to disturb mutual comfort, namely to stay calm and not make noise.
Since its during their break time and not during working hours, i believe they are free to spend their break however they want to. The most important thing is that they do not do anything do damage anything at the office or give the office a bad name.
A workplace is not supposed to be like a military zone where people are meant to be too serious all the time. Break periods should be an opportunity for people to unwind and just rest their head.
Exactly, it's why they have all the right to enjoy themselves how they want because it's how they feel like enjoying it.
Break time is supposed to be for recess, what kind of play would they be doing? A time for work I'd different from a time of play, so I won't allow it.
That is a very good thought. School used to have such games during breaks and we loved them a lot. They clear the tension and fatigue of working and could bring your closer with your colleagues.
No matter what is happening in your workplace, you are not supposed to interfere and how your workers want to enjoy their break time because it is their own time.
Yes, some big companies do this but not all the time, it is always once in a while. Some companies even go to the level of organizing a football competition
I like the concept of integrating play into the work routine. It not only promotes a healthier lifestyle but also encourages team bonding and creativity.
