International Play Day is celebrated on May 28. "World Play Day" is an event known as International Play Day or World Play Day that is celebrated in more than 40 countries around the world, including Portugal. This day reminds us that playing is a right (Article 31º of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child) and an essential joy for people of all ages. Playing brings advantages such as fun, education, increased concentration, creatity and coexistence. Although playing is one of the most common activities in childhood, it is often neglected, with parents not having time for their children, with the growing urbanisation and loss of playgrounds, as well as with the commercialisation of play, with the growth of video games. In certain countries, playing is even an act prohibited by child labour and the recruitment of children for war.
