Details

As part of Earth Week, Student Life, the Miller Worley Center, and the Student Experience ERT will be reviving a Mount Holyoke College tradition, Play Day. There will be plenty of activities for you to enjoy from traditional ones like hoop rolling and top spinning, to timeless classics like marbles and double dutch. There will be banner painting for each residential hall. The Miller Worley Center will have a scavenger hunt for students on and off campus. And so much more!

Remote students: We will have plenty of suggestions for you leading up to Play Day. Ultimately, we encourage you enjoy the outside, wherever you are. And there will be a photo recreation opportunity for you to participate in!

Play Day: Banner Making

Feeling creative and want to rep your hall? During Play Day, each hall will get 100 minutes to decorate their hall banner. These banners will be hung outside of the halls later in the week. Please wear clothing that you are comfortable with getting paint and fabric markers on, as these supplies will stain your clothing.
