With today’s pressures, play is one of the most ignored privileges(特权) of a child, and for this reason, there is a special day devoted to play—World Play Day. It is celebrated on 28 May each year in over 40 countries around the world.
Nationally, World Play Day has been celebrated at various Toy Libraries, ECD Centres and Government Departments for the past several years. Each year has seen a new theme and a new focus, although the aim is always the same—for children to let go of the stresses of daily life and play.
The theme of the inaugural World Play Day in 2014 was “we create time to play”. In 2015 it was“play is fun”; 2016 focused on “play for all ages”; 2017 saw the theme “sustainable(可持续的) play” take to the stage; at the heart of 2018 was “free play”.
Vanessa Mentor, the Early Childhood Development expert at Afrika Tikkun says, “Play is of the greatest importance for the developing child. It is through play at an early age that children learn to connect with the world around them and interact with the people in their lives. Play allows them to explore the world where they can develop new abilities, overcome fears and increase their level of confidence. It allows children to use their imagination and creativity. Physical play also leads to active lifestyles and healthy bodies. The theme of ‘free play’ is very fitting because play time is when children feel the most free. Play time is their time.”
So, whether you have children, play with them, or consider yourself “a big kid”. Anyone can celebrate World Play Day on 28 May.
