Playday 7th August 2024

Playday is the national day for play, celebrated each year across the UK. Playday 2024 will be celebrated on Wednesday 7 August.


The theme for this year’s Playday is … 

Play – the culture of childhood

Supporting play, fun and friendships


This year’s theme celebrates the rich and lively culture of children’s play. Every child plays – playfulness is a distinct feature of behavior across generations and cultures. Playing generates a culture of childhood. 


Playing is vital for children’s health, happiness, and creativity. Through play:

·         children develop a sense of, and value for culture

·         cultural exploration is encouraged, fostering an appreciation for diversity

·         children work together, negotiate, and build relationships.

·         children feel connected to each other and their neighborhoods

·         children create and pass on games, songs and stories.

Play is every child’s right – on Playday and every day
