Youth members, staff, parents, and volunteers at Boys & Girls Clubs of the Mississippi Delta’s Yazoo City Unit turned off the TVs, Game Stations, and handheld electronics to celebrate Nickelodeon’s 2011 Worldwide Day of Play on Sept. 23.
Worldwide Day of Play is an annual event designed to encourage kids and parents to turn off the television and play, especially outdoors. The yearly event officially begins on all US Nickelodeon channels: Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., TeenNick, and NickToons. The event is designed as a finale for Nick's six-month long Let's Just Play campaign.
