Summer may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still play outside. Share a video of your kids (ages 4-18) playing outside and you could be featured in content on Nick’s Worldwide Day of Play 2018!

To get you started, here are some outdoor play activities we’d love to see:

Playing soccer and/or juggling soccer balls

Skateboarding

Dance parties

Playing with pets

Playing with family

Playing on the playground

Doing the robot or other fun dance moves

Parkour

Double Dutch and other jump rope games

Swings

General playing

Your videos don’t need to be long, and you can even shoot them on your phone so long as you shoot in portrait mode (film vertically). 

Read on for more! 

In order to enter this challenge, you’ll need to submit a short homemade video of your kids playing outdoors. You can shoot on your phone (vertically). 

Five (5) or more videos will each receive a prize of $250 and have the chance to be featured in Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of Play 2018 content.
