Playday 2012

Playday in Scotland - Play on the Longest Day – Thursday 21 June 2012 – Come out and play!

In 2011, Play Scotland launched Play on the Longest Day, which will be held on 21 June. This will enable more schools, nurseries and childcare settings in Scotland to get in involved in Playday activities.

Who can organise a Playday event?

Anyone can organise a Playday event. Big or small, there are lots of different ways to celebrate Playday. Whether it's a large community-wide event or a get-together with friends and family - find the way that suits you!

Playday events are often organised by play associations, local authorities, holiday playschemes, schools, children's centres, nurseries, preschool playgroups, residents' associations, community development workers, childminders, or simply someone who lives in locally and wants to give children and young people a special opportunity to play for the day.
