Let’s Play: With The Youngest Children—Play Every Day, Play Every Way

Case Study Series to Showcase how Play has been Integrated into Save the Children Programming
The case studies showcases examples of programmes that have operationalized the Nurturing Care Framework by planning playful programming for the youngest children, bringing together health, nutrition, education, protection and parenting sectors to ensure each child reaches their full potential.

For Save the Children, play is a wide range of activities and behaviours that harness children’s intrinsic motivation, promote their agency and active participation, are culturally and socially relevant, allow for iteration, are often social and fun. Play is a right and contributes to outcomes linked to all three of our breakthroughs: learn, survive, protect.
