Bill Summary
This measure would recognize National Day of Play on March 21, 2026.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution recognizes March 21, 2026, as National Day of Play, a day dedicated to celebrating the importance of play and social connections. The resolution highlights concerns about increasing loneliness and social isolation, reduced family and community time, and the negative impacts of excessive screen time, citing a Surgeon General's declaration of a loneliness epidemic and studies showing adults feeling lonely and children spending less time playing outdoors. It defines "play" as a self-chosen, intrinsically motivated, and relatively stress-free activity that is crucial for developing social skills, promoting brain development, reducing stress, fostering creativity, and improving overall well-being, including physical health and healthy habits. The resolution supports Congress's annual designation of the first Saturday after the spring equinox as National Day of Play, encouraging people to disconnect from electronics and engage in play and community events to strengthen social bonds and create healthy environments.
