Around the world, opportunities for outdoor play are disappearing. So Greg Goya and UNICEF turned streets into playgrounds. We created four games across cities, transforming ordinary places into moments of joy. Play is everywhere. This #InternationalDayOfPlay, share where you find it.

Playing is one way children deal with stress & cope with events in their lives. When children play, they are working out what they think about different situations & how to respond to them🪁🎨 Helping your child through play ➡️ parentclub.scot/articles/hel… @PlayScotland #PlayDay2025

Schools are being urged to adopt an active uniform policy to encourage children to be more physically active during the day. It comes as a survey found more than 3/4 of parents support the idea, and more than half believe the traditional 'office-style' uniform places too much emphasis on appearance. ＠nityagrajan is at school in Leeds.
