ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Worldwide Day of Play

Worldwide Day of Play is a special day when people of all ages take a break from their regular routines to have some fun and play! It's like a big party where everyone gets to run, jump, laugh, and enjoy being active. This day was started by a TV channel called Nickelodeon to encourage kids to put down their screens and go outside and play.

On Worldwide Day of Play, Nickelodeon stops showing regular TV programs and instead shows messages encouraging kids to get outside and play. They also organize special events and activities in communities all around the world.

Playing is really important because it helps us stay healthy, learn new things, and make friends. Plus, it's just plain fun! So, on Worldwide Day of Play, we celebrate the joy and benefits of being active and having fun together with friends and family.
