What's In Your Street

Playday, the annual celebration of children’s right to play, takes place on Wednesday 1 August 2007. This year’s theme – Our streets too! highlights that the streets belong to everyone in their neighbourhood and that play-friendly streets offer huge benefits to the whole community.

Hundreds of fantastic events will be taking place across the UK and to mark this year’s theme, local communities are organising street parties to celebrate children’s play. Previous years’ Playday events have included thousands of children splashing about in the fountains in Trafalgar Square to master classes in den building and mud pies.

This year, Playday is asking children across the UK what’s in your street? Send in your photos, collages or drawings of what it’s like to play in your neighbourhood or show what your ideal street for play would look like. The images will be used to build a picture of how play–friendly streets are across the UK and will give a vision for the future. Everyone who sends in a picture has a chance to see their work published and will also be entered into a prize draw to win a digital camera!

The Playday website has also been brought to life with a new playful character, more features, interactive bits and lots of information and advice for those wanting to get involved in this year’s action filled campaign.
