What would cause Nickelodeon’s TV networks and website to plan to go off the air and offline for 3 hours on September 24th, 2011? The answer is: Worldwide Day of Play (WWDOP). It’s all part of a campaign to get kids and families up and active featuring an all-day event in Washington DC and over 4,000 other locations around the world.
First Lady Michelle Obama has joined the effort by encouraging kids to get active an hour a day, earn the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA), and to celebrate WWDOP on September 24th. For information to sign up for the PALA program click HERE.
Even if you are not able to participate in this particular event, are there ways the children in your life could become more active? Physical activity is an important part of a child's overall growth and development.
