Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of
Play
Nickelodeon’s
Worldwide Day of Play is an annual event designed to encourage kids and parents
to turn off the television and play, especially outdoors. The main goals of
this event are to influence kids to be active, putting kids and their health first.
In 2009,
Nickelodeon actually stopped playing shows and posted this message to promote
their message:
“Today is Nickelodeon’s Worldwide
Day of Play! Turn off your TV, shut down your computer, put down the cell
phones-yes, YOU! And GO ALL OUT! We’ll see you back here at 3 p.m.!”
Boys and Girls Club
Day for Kids
Boys and
Girls Clubs (BGC) of America celebrate the importance of establishing stronger
relationships between adults and youth by leading the BGC Day for Kids effort. The goal of this event is to spend
meaningful time with children. Research
shows that when adults spend meaningful time with kids, it helps them develop a
positive self-image, sense of belonging, usefulness, and purpose. While
children are happy with the amount of time their parents spend with them, many
wish the time together was focused, rich in shared activities and not rushed. BGC
challenges you!
-Recognize the
importance of spending time with the special kids in your life
-Encourage youth to
participate in fun and healthy activities
-Serve as a role model
by initiating active play
-Listen and be
supportive when young people need someone to talk to
-Active play is a
vital part of developing a young person’s cognitive, physical, social, and
emotional well-being
