Celebrate Playday 2024

We are thrilled to announce that this year's Playday, celebrated on Wednesday, 7 August, embraces the theme:

Play – the Culture of Childhood

Supporting Play, Fun, and Friendships

This theme celebrates the vibrant and dynamic culture of children's play. Playfulness is a universal feature of childhood, cutting across generations and cultures, and creating a rich culture of childhood.

Play is essential for children's health, happiness, and creativity. Through play, children:

🌍 Develop a sense of and value for culture

🌈 Explore and appreciate diversity

🤝 Work together, negotiate, and build relationships

🏘️ Feel connected to each other and their communities

🎶 Create and share games, songs, and stories

Play is every child's right – on Playday and every day.

This Playday, we call on everyone – families, carers, playworkers, and all who work with children across the UK – to join us in fostering a culture that supports play.

Let's make this Playday unforgettable by celebrating the joy, creativity, and connections that play brings into the lives of our children. 🌟
