Calling all kids, families, and adults! It's time to use your superpower of Play to unleash your inner builder and join the Play revolution! On June 11th, grab your LEGO® bricks and get ready to create something amazing together. A DAY FOR PLAY: The United Nations recently recognized the importance of Play by establishing an official International Day of Play. The International Day of Play will be June 11th, with the inaugural celebration in 2024, and it will champion and protect children’s right to play. Play is never just play: UNICEF estimates that 160 million children around the world are working instead of playing or learning. Play can help children to find their way back to hope, health and happiness. Because play is never just play. Play is powerful. The power of play unlocks potential, instils confidence, saves lives, heals, and creates a world of possibilities. Let's take children's right to play a step further by joining a global movement that elevates the importance of play as central to children's learning and well-being.

Get ready to mark your calendars because June 11, 2024, is about to become the most playful day of the year! It's the very first International Day of Play! Did you know that even though the UN declared play a fundamental right for children back in 1989, only 30% of adults seem to know about it? Well, it's high time we remind everyone about the magic of play! That's where The LEGO Group and the LEGO Foundation come in, along with some other awesome people! They're leading the charge, saying how play can totally change lives and help children reach their full potential. They've even been hosting their own World Play Day for a couple of years now. But it's not just about LEGO. Everyone from the International Rescue Committee to Right to Play International is joining in. They're all saying the same thing: play is super important for learning and growing. Even though millions of children are missing out on playtime, we can still make a difference. Play isn't just fun; it's a game-changer for confidence, creativity, and building a brighter future. So, let's spread the word and get ready to party on June 11th! It's time to celebrate the power of play and ensure every child gets to shine. Who's with us at ORT SA CAPE?

Today, we mark the first International Day of Play. Creativity is exciting. It’s phenomenal what education and technology can produce. For kids, the possibilities are truly significant: fun, learning, curiosity, independence, confidence, social skills, creativity, etc., which are essential for your child’s development. Research from UNICEF Innocenti, co-founded with the LEGO Group in partnership with The University of Sheffield, New York University, The City University of New York and QUT (Queensland University of Technology) found something remarkable: digital games can help children make original ideas, explore, and imagine different possibilities. Insights from my experience facilitating children's play: - Digital play helps children respond to their deep interests. - Children become creative and suggest insightful solutions. - Children build a solid foundation of a sense of belonging and collaboration. - Children are encouraged to build, invent, and experiment. - Children feel safe and happy while engaging. Ready to play? This summer, we are thrilled to share the power of play. Join us at Steamoji Calgary West as we press play every day to support children’s well-being and learning, enabling them to create and build worlds.

How to celebrate Chinese Children’s Day? Children’s Day is an important holiday around the world. In China, Children’s Day is celebrated on June 1st. It’s a fun and joyful occasion that focuses on kids and their youthful energy, complete with traditions,gifts, and food. Well, how to celebrate Chinese Children’s Day? Many schools take their students on field trips.Some popular field trip options include the zoo, museum,or park.Staying in school can be just as fun though, with interesting activities like team games, watching cartoons, and other activities that students rarely get to enjoy. Some schools also host performances on Children’s Day where children get to dance, sing, and perform together.Similarly, most parents take the day off of work to join in on the celebration.Parents are inclined to offer a gift to their kids, with popular gifts including toys, dolls, and snacks. In a similar manner to birthdays, some parents ask their children what they would like to get for Children’s Day in advance. As a nationally recognized celebration, a big gala show is hosted annually and broadcasted nationwide for children to enjoy from the comforts of their home.Likewise, movies for children are released on the day as well, making a trip to the movie theaters a popular option for the whole family. Children’s Day is meant for us to reflect on the joy that kids bring to the world. It is important to think about the way we interact with children and create new ways to bring just as much joy into their lives as they bring into ours, whether or not we have kids of our own. #festival #children Welcome to inquiry:web:http://sdsealant.com
