“Nickelodeon will empower kids to get up and get active when its TV channels, websites and app go off air and offline for its 11th Annual Worldwide Day of Play (WWDoP) on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. (all times ET/PT). Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, Nick Jr., TeenNick, Nick.com, NickJr.com, Nicktoons.com, TeenNick.com and the Emmy® Award-winning Nick App will all participate. Additionally, the network’s national prosocial partners – United States Tennis Association, NFL PLAY 60, the Boys and Girls Club of America and Key Club, among others — will host several thousand local events across the country to help celebrate kids’ love of play.”
Wow, I better make some plans! This will be a great opportunity to get my son to do one of our famous long NYC walks! I will just show him this blog post. He is a big fan of Nickelodeon and he loves to participate in these broad efforts. Us dads love to walk for miles discovering new treasures in the streets of NYC. Perhaps we can get him to talk the three plus miles to the Central Park Zoo on Saturday!”
“Worldwide Day of Play is part of Nickelodeon’s ongoing health and wellness efforts and continues the network’s legacy of promoting prosocial initiatives to its viewers.

John Joseph says
This day of play is a great program to encourage today’s kids to be active. Now with all the video
games all of kids skip playing outside and it could hurt there health. Hopefully it is a great success.
