NATIONAL: Last week marked the #InternationalDayofPlay and it was a joy to join colleagues @ndironsmp.bsky.social and Tom Hayes MP - who's from Salford - to discuss the importance of play in childhood, education, and healthy communities. A vital conversation to be part of.

Yesterday was International Day of Play.💗 I played with some fun papers (from @eeboo.com) & am trying out different things with them. Play is so important to me. Always has been. Just like picture books, I don’t believe we outgrow the importance & gifts of play.🌟 1/2

"When kids don’t have access to play; when they’re excluded because of poverty, crisis, or discrimination; we’re cutting them off from some of the most powerful tools we have for development and recovery."

On #InternationalDayOfPlay, UNICEF Ambassador Laurie Hernandez writes about why play matters:
Sport Is Play. And Every Child, Everywhere, Deserves It.
Play is critical for children, and not just about fitness or competition. It’s about growth, resilience and mental health.

To celebrate today, some friends and I are getting together online to play my favorite game, of course! I hope you all find opportunities to play as well, whatever game happens to be your jam. Take care and be kind to one another.

“Are challenging behaviors more prevalent in a play-based program?”

On the contrary: play-based curriculum teaches self-regulation, social development, and stress reduction, which can actually reduce challenging behaviors in ECE. #InternationalDayofPlay

Reduce Challenging Behaviors in ECE With Play-Based Curriculum
Rae Pica challenges the untrue but persistent belief that children are behaving (and learning) only when they are sitting motionless at their desks.

On #InternationalDayOfPlay, we celebrate the key role play has children's growth. Whether it's a kickabout in the park or building a fort at home, every child deserves the chance to play.

That's why I back a national play strategy - to make this a reality for all kids.

Play is essential for growth. It helps children build skills, resilience and confidence. But too many are missing out. On the #InternationalDayOfPlay, we can raise awareness and advocate for the right of every child to realize the benefits of play.
