Celebrate Play Week: 26 October to 1 November 2024

The Team from Whangarei District Council

“Our culture has become so busy and task-oriented that play has been pushed to the back and undervalued” says our play-advocate Melinda Butt. "We have the most sedentary generation of youth ever, and this will have flow-on effects on young people's physical abilities, communication, problem-solving and mental wellbeing."
So we're getting behind "play week", aimed at reintroducing the joy and value of play in our local environments.

🎉 Play week: 26 October to 1 November 2024 🎉

So far we're promoting a 🪁 Kite Day and a kids 🦈 fishing day in Waipu. What are some other ideas for Play Week?
