Intergenerational Playgroups
Intergenerational playgroups bring together multiple generations, supporting communities and nurturing relationships through play.
What is an Intergenerational Playgroup?
Our Intergenerational Playgroup programs support parents and caregivers with children under 5 to connect with older people, with the aim of bringing together the young and young at heart – to build relationships through play.
Partnering with ABC TV + iview
In 2021, Playgroup Australia partnered with OPAN for the ‘Stay Connected and Supported in Your Community’ campaign in association with ABC TV + iview’s award-winning documentary series Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds. The delightfully inspiring Season 2 followed a group of older adults living alone, who joined a group of lively 4-year-olds in an intergenerational play school – for learning, connection and friendship.
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”
George Bernard Shaw
