Global School Play Day – February 7, 2024
Global School Play Day is observed annually every first Wednesday in February and this year it will be held on February 7. This holiday promotes the importance of unstructured, regular play for children. The campaign was started by a group of six educators in 2015. They realized that playtime for children was decreasing both at home and in school, leading to negative consequences for the children’s development. They immediately took action and initiated Global School Play Day, with over 65,000 children participating in its very first year. You can sign up to participate for free here on Global School Play Day.
