🌎 Global Schools Play Day 🌎
Global Schools Play Day is a holiday that promotes the importance of unstructured play for children. The campaign was started by a group of six educators in 2015.
This is something we have done in the past and love the experience for our students. Typically this event is held on the first Wednesday in February. We will celebrate this holiday on February 14th in order to tie it to our Valentines Day parties.
On February 14th, students will be given the opportunity to enjoy unstructured play time. This means that students will engage in activities such as board games, Legos, blocks, dolls, and art kits. No electronics or screens are allowed.
See the link below for additional details.
