Resources & Activities to Celebrate National Play Outside Day

Did you know that National Play Outside Day is celebrated on the first Saturday of every month? Although we play outside almost every day with the children in our care, this fun monthly tradition makes for a great excuse to spend a little bit of extra time outdoors.

Because this event falls on a weekend, you might also consider sharing this celebration with parents and family members of the children you care for, to encourage outdoor family-friendly play.

The next National Play Outside Day will be on Saturday, November 5th. And to help you celebrate, we are sharing a few G2K articles from the archives that include activities to enjoy with young children outdoors.
