National Playgroup Week 2026: Play Activates Possibility: 16th-22nd March

‘Best Day of the Week’

The playgroup bringing children and elderly together

There is an age difference of several decades between them, but the bond between the participants of this Canberra playgroup couldn’t be stronger.

Run by Playgroups ACT every Monday out of the Mirinjani aged care facility in Weston, the intergenerational initiative aims to bring some of Canberra’s youngest and oldest residents together for play time, singing, stories and even visits from animals.
