We’re sure you’ll agree that every child deserves to be safe, healthy and have a happy life. There is nothing like seeing children playing to bring a smile to your face. And the value of play in a child’s life is essential for their sense of self and well-being. Unfortunately for some children play is not an option and just surviving is a daily struggle.

We're challenging all Kiwi's to do their part: to play one game and help save lives.

 

Have you got your EVERY ONE yo-yo yet?

We tried making a Guinness World Record™ for the largest simultaneous yo-yo on Friday 1 October. We made a NZ record with 171 people simultaneously yo-yoing. A big thanks to everyone who took part. Special thanks to Te Radar and the ZM crew for MCing. Michael Fowler Centre for the venue, Rubber Monkey for the video equipment (footage coming soon) and everyone else who played their part to make the day a smashing success.

11-year-old Joseph and friends talked to Breakfast TV about why they got invovled with the Annual Appeal and show off their yo-yo skills (3 mins into regional round-up).

You can still buy a limited edition EVERY ONE yo-yo for only $5 each. $1 from every yo-yo sold will help Canterbury children and families affected by the earthquake. Call 0800 167 168 any time to order your yo-yo.

Some yo-yo tricks to try:
