This year we're asking everyone to make time for play - from parents, carers and teachers to policymakers and planners. Everyone can make time to support children's right to play.
Play England's Amy Little, who co-ordinates the campaign, said: "In our busy and overscheduled lives it's easy to prioritise other things and to think play is something children just do. However, children's time and space to play is decreasing. This year's campaign calls on everyone to make time to ensure children get time and space to play."
Hundreds of fantastic events will be taking place across the UK to celebrate Playday, from small-scale neighbourhood get-togethers to large-scale public events. Play England will also be releasing specially commissioned research on this year's Make time! theme.
