Nov 13, 2020 is World Kindness Day

  1. Updates

In celebration of #WorldKindnessDay and #RealPlayersDontBully, we want everyone to know it’s cool to be kind!

With the contagious power of positivity and kindness, you can help shift the culture of your school, community, and world.  We, at Playworks, are changing school culture by leveraging the power of safe, fun, and healthy play at school. We create a place for every kid on the playground to feel included, be active, and build valuable social and emotional skills.  We are aiming to reduce bullying and increase inclusion by creating a generation of kinder, empathetic kids with caring, consistent role models.

Check out these stories of kids radiating kindness:


Angelique has been a cheerful student at Bayard Taylor Elementary School since she was in Kindergarten. Last year, with the encouragement from her friends and family, she became a Playworks Junior Coach at her school.  Read more about Angelique from Pennsylvania.
