National Week of Play 2023: Creating connections through play  

Play is often hailed as a "universal language", but how can we ensure that it's inclusive and positive for all regardless of age, gender, or background?  

This year's National Week of Play, happening from June 19-25, will focus on the ability of play to connect and break down barriers.  

Celebrating different approaches to play from around the world and for all ages, the event is open to parents and providers alike, offering free resources, materials, blogs, and activity ideas. In a time of division, we want the event to be a reminder that play is something that unites us all.
