Highlights from Play Day 2010
From September 18th – 26th, 2010, more than 1,600 communities across the country hosted Play Days. Kids, parents, teachers, and community leaders rolled up their sleeves and played! They gathered for a day of fun games, playspace enhancement projects, advocacy activities.
Play Day organizers who registered their events on kaboom.org were provided with an array of helpful tools to make their events successful.
