In the Summer of 2019, our Physical Literacy in the Early Years (PLEY) research team within the Healthy Populations Institute and Faculty of Health at Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) held a local, outdoor public loose parts pop-up play event. The event was a continuation of our PLEY project, funded through the Lawson Foundation’s Outdoor Play Strategy, and was part of the Summer of PLEY, a campaign designed to spread the message about the value of unstructured play with moveable materials to children’s health and development. More than 200 families, educators and members of the community attended this event. This video shows children deeply immersed in outdoor loose parts play, and shows the magic that unfolds when you simply let children play.
