Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

In today’s digital age, we often forget the power of face-to-face connections. The little nuances of facial expressions and body language. The comfort of a gentle smile, the warmth of a big hug, and the calmness of a voice vibrating with love and empathy. Welcome to the “Day of Play and Kindness,” a holiday designed to help us disconnect from our screens and reconnect with each other.

Start the day by putting away all phones and dive into the world of board games like, dominoes, Monopoly, UNO, and card games. Outdoor fun like football, basketball, baseball. It’s a chance to laugh and play, free from the distractions of notifications and alerts.

As lunchtime approaches, enjoy a communal feast of natural, wholesome foods. All Whole foods from local sources. This big cookout is not just about nourishment—it’s a celebration of community and gratitude.

The afternoon we gather in a circle for meaningful conversations. We ask and answer questions, discovering new facets of each other and deepening our bonds.

As evening falls, sip on hot teas and coffees around a cozy fire. Share stories of the day’s acts of kindness performed for strangers. The big requirement of the day: What was one act of kindness you did for a complete stranger today? With no devices in sight, the warmth of human connection and discovery takes center stage.

The “Day of Play and Kindness” is a reminder of the joy found in being present. By detaching from our phones, we open ourselves up to a world of laughter, empathy, and genuine connection. Love for each other. One of the greatest gifts.
