The aim of National Play Day is to promote play and recreation opportunities for children and young people across the country. This year, Local Authorities can elect to have their Play Day between July 13th and 21st.
The theme this year is Time to Play. Time to Play will embrace the importance of recognising the significance of making and taking the time to play. Ensuring that children take the time to play is important for their development, imagination, social skills, creativity and so much more. Promoting time to play will present children with fun opportunities to explore, be creative and have wild adventures within their imagination.
Each year the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth provides funds for Local Authorities to engage in National Play Day. Each Local Authority across the country will shortly announce their plans for a diverse range of activities that are targeted at all children and young people in the respective Local Authorities communities for National Play Day 2024.
