Take Our Summer Playground Challenge!
Get outside. Win great prizes. This summer, we challenge you and your family to visit as many playgrounds as you can.
A swing doesn’t swing on its own. A slide doesn’t slide. Playgrounds are the heart of a community – and they come alive when you and your family are there.
For each playground you visit, you earn points and badges toward one of our three Grand Prizes. Plus, every other week, we’ll give you a “mini challenge” for a chance to earn prizes as you go.

At the end of the summer, our three top point and badge earners will each win a week-long trip for two to Washington, DC.
See the sights, visit our headquarters, and share your Summer Challenge experiences at our annual Play Academy!

Challengers will track and share their adventures using our new Tag! mobile app, to be released in June. Each playground you visit will be recorded on our Map of Play.
The more you play, the more you help KaBOOM! save play!
