A PlayDay offers games and activities for toddlers to grandparents, and all ages in between. Some games can be played by all ages, while others should only be played by specific age groups. Play is the important element of the PlayDay. It requires little more than an imagination, and can continue until everyone is too tired to move. Every play event is successful in its own way.
PlayDays can take on many dimensions depending on the other events that are scheduled.
If the day is planned totally around the PlayDay a wide variety of activities can be offered for different size groups. If the PlayDay is a part of a larger event such as a Kidfest, Art Fair, Octoberfest, Springfest, or other community event, the games and activities will vary with the flow of the crowd and the specific mix of people. It is important to keep this factor in mind when planning the games and activities and the number of available play leaders, volunteers, or referees that will be needed. Joanne Hynes-Dusel, Ed.
