 My own experience of involvement in films of children playing has been limited to just a few occasion's.

 

When W.D &H. O .WILLS the tobacco company sponsored the Film "Children Waiting" at Stevenage about Adventure Playgrounds for the national campaign Fair Play For Children.

 

Along with a Pathe news item of Pin Green Adventure Playgrounds Handi camp with the U.N.A. which was through The Central Office of Information and the film was put out to the the Lebanon and Middle East newsreels.

 

In this section of the site I present a variety of film clips of children playing which I have recently discovered searching the internet.

 

I have searched for footage of children at play throughout the years and discovered some fascinating glimpses into their world of childhood. Hope you enjoy.
