The International Day of Play is a wonderful celebration of the joy and significance of play! It shines a light on how crucial play is for every child’s growth and happiness, and it invites us all to come together to guarantee that every child can enjoy their right to play freely.

This year’s International Day of Play carries the uplifting theme “Choose Play – Everyday.” It serves as a wonderful reminder for everyone- from governments and businesses to schools and families- to prioritise and wholeheartedly embrace play for our children.

Play is not merely enjoyable; it is crucial. Through play, children establish connections, cultivate diverse leadership skills, strengthen resilience, manage social challenges and relationships, and face their fears. This process enables children to flourish in an ever-evolving environment.
