Playday is the annual celebration of
children's right to play.
Playday 2008 was on Wednesday 6 August.
On Playday and throughout the summer of 2008, thousands of
children, young people and communities got out to play at hundreds
of locally organised events across the UK.
The 2008 campaign theme, Give us a go! called for children
to be allowed challenging and adventurous play opportunities and
aimed to shake off the 'cotton wool' culture that can limit
children’s play.
Over 500 events took place across the country, making Playday
2008 the biggest on record!

Playday 2008 was supported by Persil.
The PlayToday magazine Playday special has been
published!
A team of junior reporters got out to play at Playday 2008
events across the UK.
The winner of the What's your adventure?
competition has been announced!
Elizabeth Watts, age 10, won a digital camera for telling
us how she plays to the max!
