‘Let’s Play’ provides kids happiness and fun
Busan Metropolitan City is operating the 2023 Let’s Play program. The program was established in 2019 to guarantee children’s right to play. The city wants to create a kid-friendly culture and environment where children can play and be happy.
The program will be held in 12 children’s culture centers citywide, known as “In and Out.” Activities and events are organized by the city and Dream Kids, a company that provides physical and creative activities for young people. The 2023 Let’s Play program will continue until October 29.
The activities are presented for children ages 3 to 6 and students in 1st through 3rd grades. Participants can do things like make paper flowers, learn speed stacking, play folk games and participate in age-appropriate sports. Classes will be run by a professional instructor from Dream Kids and local university students majoring in early childhood development and physical education.
Each participating In and Out center in the city can accommodate up to 20 children each month. In November, participants and their families will take part in a wrap-up meeting to share their reviews and ideas about the program.
