The resolution designates June 11 of each year as the Day of Play in New Jersey, aiming to raise awareness about the significance of play for individuals of all ages. It highlights the benefits of play, including fostering resilience, creativity, and innovation, as well as its role in the development of children’s cognitive, emotional, and social skills. The resolution references the United Nations' recognition of children's rights to play and leisure, and notes that the UN General Assembly established June 11 as the International Day of Play in March 2024.

The resolution calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing this day and encourages public officials and citizens to observe it with appropriate activities and programs. It emphasizes the importance of play in promoting mental health and well-being, as well as its ability to bridge cultural and economic divides. With over two million children in New Jersey, the resolution seeks to enhance public understanding of play's importance and promote initiatives that encourage play across the state.
