The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) and KaBOOM!, a national non-profit that is bringing play back into the lives of children, invite your school to participate in KaBOOM! Play Day, a free, fun-for-the-whole-school outdoor event that celebrates play the week of September 19th – 27th. Both organizations believe that play has purpose, and that unstructured play in particular helps make children happier, fitter, smarter, more socially adept and creative.
To receive your FREE KaBOOM! Play Day Kit, register before Monday, August 24th at: [url]www.kaboom.org/playday[/url].
Every Play Day organizer will receive:
• A free online planning tool with step-by-step instructions to successfully plan, organize and execute your Play Day
• A free KaBOOM! Play Day kit full of fun-filled games and gear for kids valued at $100
• Inclusion in a directory of KaBOOM! Play Days at kaboom.org
• Dedicated web pages to post your KaBOOM! Play Day stories, photos, and videos.
• The chance to receive a playspace grant to improve a playground or playspace
It’s a field day, a potluck picnic and a day of service all rolled into one - a turn-key event that helps you celebrate play with your students, faculty members and community leaders. A 30-person game of SPUD, a 3-legged relay race, or even a park clean up – how you do it is up to you. The only rule is to have fun!
