Recess

Hi, I have a question: is it correct to say, "Now we are going to have recess"? Or should I say, "Now we are going to recess?" (in a high school context).

Hi Javi!

For me, the most naturally-sounding way to say this would be: "Now it's time for recess." If I had to pick one of the two you provided, I'd pick the first one (although there's nothing grammatically wrong with either).

Hi Javo!

Now we are going for recess would be better.

And "Let's take a break for * minutes" is the common way to say as well.
