What is Be a Kid Again Day?

Be a Kid Again Day encourages adults to reconnect with their inner child through play, curiosity, and simple delights. As George Bernard Shaw put it, "we don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." Founded in 1990 by Atari creator Nolan Bushnell, it's a yearly nudge to swap stress for wonder.
