Play Week

Play Week Aotearoa 2025 celebrates the power of play for tamariki, whānau, and communities across Aotearoa. Play gives children the freedom to explore, take risks, and discover new possibilities. It helps tamariki develop a lifelong love of being active, sparks creativity, builds friendships, and teaches important skills for life. To learn more about Play Week click here
