WHAT’S IT LIKE TO PLAY WHERE YOU
LIVE?
Take part in the Playday 2010 drawing consultation
and tell us what it’s like to play where you live - you could even
win a digital camera!
Get involved
Whether collages, drawing, using your computer, writing or
taking photographs is your thing, tell us what it’s like to
play where you live and help us build a picture of play across the
UK.

You don’t have to be an expert artist
or skilled photographer. Everyone who sends us a picture
will be entered into our free draw to have an equal chance of
winning a digital camera. You might also have your work
published.
We’re running this drawing
consultation to gather the views of children from across the
UK, as part of the Playday 2010 Our place
campaign. Images should show what it’s like to play where you live,
you might like to think about the following questions:
- What do you do when you play outside?
- Where do you go to play nearby?
- Do you play on your own or with other
people?
- Do you play out much where you live? If not,
why not?

For adults
If you're organising a Playday
event, why not print out the consultation template so that
children and young people at your event can have a go?
If you work with children and young
people there are lots of ways you can get them involved.
Here are a few to get you started:
- Use the consultation to lead an arts and
crafts session.
- Send templates home for children to complete
with friends and family.
- Create a display in children’s centres,
libraries or other venues, with a post box for completed
entries.
- Get out and about on a sunny day and use
natural resources to create a collage.
Whatever you or the children decide to
do, get everyone involved and join in the fun!
