💗 The Bright Isle Valentine’s Play Challenge

A week of play to connect, create, and celebrate together.

February 8–14 • Any 3 days to enter • No photos required

What is the Play Challenge?

February can feel busy — so we’re inviting families to slow down and play together.
The Bright Isle Valentine’s Play Challenge is a gentle, low-pressure way to encourage screen-free time, creativity, and connection at home.
You don’t need special supplies. You don’t need to do every activity.
This challenge is about connection, not perfection.

How It Works

• Try any 3 play prompts during the week
• Activities take 10–30 minutes
• Use what you already have at home
• Submit the entry form by February 14

We trust families to participate honestly. No photos are required.
