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.
What about kids who are bedridden, sick, etc and cannot go out and play? What about the kids where that is the only time they get to play online?
i will be out side riding my bike and playing b–ball and running on the beach it will be so much fun i hope the sun is happy that day
i’ll um oo i will walk my trail maybe if raining no if no time no hmm play silly MATH pins it really fun
hi it is me and I will not be here for 5 days because I’m going on a filed trip FOR 5 DAYS!!
but at lest I’m going out right? so have a great time with out me:( goodbye for 5 days:(
My family takes a long walk together every day. At first I thought it would be boring and hard. But it isn’t. We walk around our neighborhood, at a park, from our house to places around down, depending on the day. Mostly we just walk as a way to stay healthy and do something together.
It isn’t boring. Sometimes we’ll play games like alphabet (as you walk you look for things that start with each letter of the alphabet. When an item is found every one looks for the next letter – A = airplane flying over head, B = basketball in someone’s yard, C = a crabapple tree… etc… what ever you find)
Sometimes we’ll go on a scavenger hunt – and look for specific items – a fire house, a grocery store, a yellow leaf, etc
Other games we some times play are things like finish the next line in the story, twenty questions, I spy, and more. It isn’t boring it is super cool.
Sounds really fun. ;) I wish I could do that, but my sisters said that they were not going to go outside with me. :( Not fair. I hope my mom will come outside with me.
cool… I am volunteering at the zoo all day that day…
