Floral Park-Bellerose School and John Lewis Childs School proudly joined the worldwide Global Day of Play on Feb. 4, celebrating the power of play and meaningful face-to-face connection.
Throughout the day, students enjoyed extra free time dedicated to screen-free, creative and collaborative play.
These experiences help children build essential life skills, including problem-solving, communication, teamwork and imagination.
Students were invited to bring a favorite board game, card game or puzzle from home to share and enjoy with their peers.
Global School Play Day began in 2015, created by a group of educators to bring attention to the value of play in learning and foster a global conversation about the role of play in education.
