On November 11, 2026, Los Angeles becomes the stage for something extraordinary: the first-ever PlayRade.
This isn’t just an event—it’s the start of a new yearly tradition where the community comes together to break the world record for the longest hopscotch and smash stigmas, stereotypes, and social barriers through the power of PLAY.
Hop, Skip, Jump, PLAY—-and Transform Your World
The PlayRade brings together Play Ninjas from across Los Angeles— businesses, schools, and organizations—to lead the charge, guide the community, and break world records while building friendly, inclusive, lasting connections. It’s more than a hopscotch—it’s a movement to showcase Los Angeles as the kindest, most playful, and welcoming city on the planet.
Setting the Stage for LA28
By 2028, we’ll induct 1.1 million Play Ninjas across Los Angeles, creating a city ready to welcome the world to the Olympics. With every square of hopscotch, every act of kindness, and every moment of connection, Los Angeles shows the world how we PLAY kind forever.
Sponsoring the PlayRade means joining a legacy of kindness, unity, and action. Together, we’re displaying what science proves: that PLAY has the power to transform communities, break barriers, and inspire the world— one playful act of kindness at a time!
