Join the City of Boston and friends to celebrate and experience the power of play on June 11, the second annual International Day of Play.
Play is a fundamental right; it builds resilience, instills confidence and helps children develop. But children need time to play. That’s where we need policies, training and funding to get play integrated into education and community settings. International awareness days can create systemic change, to enable all children access to the time, space and support they need to play.
This family-friendly event is free and open to the public. Guests will be able to celebrate and experience the power of play!
The day will be filled with sports, biking, pickleball, board games, bubbles, ping pong, arts and crafts, dance and music, and many more fun powerful play opportunities.
