Whether you’re looking for fun at school or at home,
why not get involved in a week dedicated to having fun playing board games?
Game Playing Day
The week kicks off with Game Playing Day, which takes place in primary schools across the country on Friday, 23rd October. This year once again, schools choose their OWN charity to benefit from their Game Playing Day fund. It can be the school itself or any charity of your choice.
Free board games and €200 county prize
Every school that participates in Game Playing Day will receive a hamper of six FREE MB and Parker board games from Hasbro. What’s more, there’s a further €200 from Hasbro towards their Game Playing Day fund for the school in each county that shows it had the most fun playing board games!
