Based in Takoma Park, MD, Let’s Play America strives to encourage people of all ages to play and to help them create playful events in their own community. Check out their update below:
Our nonprofit Let’s Play America had a successful 14th Annual Play Day on Saturday, September 24, 2022, thanks to the Min-Grant we received from DEY.ORG. The Mini-Grant helped us pay for the fabulous band, Groove Quest, see a photo below.
Over thirty activities were offered at our Play Day. Young children especially liked playing in the dome, which held our Balloon activity. 
As the band played children stopped and enjoyed having their faces painted, see the young girl who just finished having her face painted.
Below is a photo of a grandmother playing a game with her grandson At our Board Games activity.
The Let’s Play America play team is so appreciative of the Mini-Grant provided by DEY.ORG. For those folks interested in planning a Play Day we would like you to know about our Play Day Handbooks that can be ordered on our website, https://www.letsplayamerica.org/handbooks The Handbooks are sent to folks digitally, so you can see videos from past Play Days.
Lastly, the play team encourages everyone to make time every day to play.
