Explanation
S1 cites the proverb that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and R states the problem that pupils become dull and their reading suffers without recreation. Q proposes the remedy that games provide the best form of recreation in schools. S specifies the prescription that pupils should play for an hour or two. P describes the result that refreshed pupils can return to their books, and S6 concludes that games provide recreation and strengthen bodies. The problem-to-remedy-to-result progression confirms RQSP.
