Hey everyone! Welcome to week 3 of the 90 Days of Play Challenge! This week, we’re taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane to reconnect with the playful spirit of our inner child. Remember that pure joy, boundless imagination, and sense of wonder we experienced back then? It’s still within us, just waiting to be rediscovered!

This Week’s Mission:

This week is all about rekindling that childhood spark and embracing your playful side! Here’s how:

• Observe the Masters of Play: Do you have young kids in your life? Take some time this week to simply watch them at play. Notice their laser focus, unbridled creativity, and pure joy in the moment. See how they lose themselves in their games and how readily they laugh. They’re the ultimate teachers of playful living!
• No Kids? No Problem!: Volunteering at a local children’s organization like a Boys & Girls Club or a scouting group is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in playful energy. You’ll get to witness the joy of play firsthand and potentially inspire some fun activities you can try yourself!
• From Supervisor to Playmate: This week, try shifting your mindset when interacting with children (or even your inner child!). Instead of simply “supervising,” step into the role of a playful companion. Build a glorious pillow fort together, make up silly stories filled with talking animals and fantastical adventures, or turn on the music and have a spontaneous dance party! Remember, the key is to embrace the joy and playfulness of the moment.

Spark Your Inner Child:

• Revisit Old Favorites: Do you remember those playful activities you loved as a child? Maybe it was jumping rope, hopscotch, playing with dolls, or dressing up in outrageous costumes. This week, pick an old favorite and revisit it! You might be surprised at how much joy it still sparks.
• Explore New Playful Avenues: Adult coloring books aren’t just a fad! They offer a relaxing and creative way to unwind and reconnect with your inner artist. Don’t be afraid to try other “childish” activities – board games, puzzles, or even building with Legos can be surprisingly fun and can spark unexpected creativity.
