Announcing the Worldwide Day of Play!

Playing Webkinz Pets

Hey everyone! There’s something special happening on September 24th 2011, and it’s all about encouraging YOU to get outside and play!

Webkinz is supporting Nickelodeon’s 8th annual Worldwide Day of Play.  It’s a day when children across North America turn off their TVs, gadgets and computers to get active, and get healthy.

On Saturday September 24th from 12pm to 3pm (EST) both Webkinz World and the Nickelodeon channel will be shutting down, so you won’t miss any fun while you’re outside playing.

At 12pm (EST) a few of our well-known Kinzville citizens will be helping us turn off Webkinz World, that will be YOUR cue to begin a fun activity or game that will get your body moving.

What’s more? At 3pm (EST) when you log back on at Webkinz World, you’ll receive an awesome virtual prize.

Need some ideas on fun activities? Over the last few weeks on Webkinz Newz we’ve posted some articles about getting healthy, which you can find here.

Please let us know about your favorite physical activity in the comments.

    Hey! My favorite physical activity is totally playing soccer! On Saturday I have a soccer game and I can’t wait! I think world wide day of play is a really good, fun, and awesome idea!

  5. BigWackyFan0405 says:

    I told this to my mom and she loves the idea. She said it made her love Webkinz even more. What I personally would like to know is, if they’re encouraging us to get out and play, why do we get a prize for getting back on the computer later that day?

    My favorite physical activity is playing hide and seek tag with my brothers and sometimes my sister. We have 5 acres so it’s really fun. There are a few barns on our property, and overgrown field, and part of the front yard went wild! 1 person is ‘IT.’ IT has to count to 60 in the garage while everyone else hides. IT has to try and find AND tag as many people as possible. The first person to be tagged by IT is the next IT. (It’s more fun without a ‘home’ so there’s no safety)

          • Eclair07 says:

            Hey guys
            I don’t think this is meant to be candycorn appreciation day. You are meant to do healthy outdoorsy things.

          • Metal07 says:

            I totally agree with Eclair07
            You should play outside and make the brownies another day
            sorry not trying to be mean

          • Kittesrule says:

            Hey! That’s not nice! Let them do what they want!

          • Metal07 says:

            I wasn’t trying to be mean

        • EMILY CELEBRATES says:

          What I plan to do on this day is go for a LOOOOOONG walk throughout my neighborhood and a couple others with my dad or friends. We might go birdwatching, and visit the park while picking up trash left on the ground. We may also go swimming, and bake some food (CANDYCORN BROWNIES SOUND SO GOOD I WILL MAKE THEM IF I HAVE THE INGREDIENTS)!!. I also plan to go on the computer for a max. of 20 minutes, just for my daily stuff on webkinz and some other games I play. We have also decide at the end of the day, we have a picnic at the beach. We also hope to go to Busch Gardens to ride Cheetah Hunt again (I LOVE THAT RIDE SOOOOO MUCH! IT WAS MY 1 UPSIDE DOWN ROLLER COASTER!) and of course watch all the animals there. We wont do all of these. We plan to do most, though. ANIMALS AND NATURE 4 EVER!

        • wafflelover says:

          Sorry but I don`t think they would be that great. I think they would be better with peanut butter cups. My user name is sock75.

        • Kulkid2000 says:

          Mmmmmm… Candy corn and brownies! YUM!!! I wonder if jelly beans in brownies would tast good?

        • BigAdventureTimeFan says:

          Sounds great, krystalkat!

          The World Wide Day of Play sounds awesome! Except I’m sort of dorky, my life is mostly a computer, so I dunno what I’ll do.

          :) $*~BigAdventureTimeFan~*$ :)

        • nanawill1 says:

    • alice7272 says:

      I sort of think that this is bad idea sorry, if I want play on webkinz I want to play on webkinz.

    • PikachuHazelNut says:

      I’m really looking forward to this! I’m not lazy, but I surely want to get more active! I REALLY hope that I could possibly have some friends over, and go to a park near my house………. If not I guess I’ll just enjoy outside weather with my family. =)

      -PHN
      P.S It might hurt at first, but I am learning some slight volleyball moves so I can at least hit it back to someone. So I love that, and I bike riding is also awesome! Those have to be some fav activities of mine. ♥

        • Jenna says:

          the recipe sounds good i really like both of the ingridients. they should make something like that on webkinz like a recipie you know it could be something like chocolate, milk, and candycorn but i’m not sure if they have candycorn or not. If you would like you could befriend me too. i’m FLBRJKM you are getting really famous on webkinz.

    • snowdonia7 says:

      Ok then a little odd that they’re shutting down webkinz world. But it might be good I guess. I dont really need a reminder to stay active. I jog a mile every day and swim a mile twice a week.
