Playday is the national day for play,
traditionally celebrated on the first Wednesday in August.
Playday 2012 is on 1 August.
On Playday thousands of children and their families get out
to play at hundreds of community events across the
UK.
As well as a celebration of children's right to play, Playday is
a campaign that highlights the importance of play in children’s
lives.
For Playday 2012, we're calling on everyone to celebrate in
whatever way they can - whether that's a small celebration with
friends and family or a city-wide extravaganza!
