PTA Leaders

Hey team! I’m at the COPTA conference found a playdate program called Time to Play. It’s a free toolkit to spark parent-led playdate groups for our grades. The best part? It’s designed so the PTA doesn't have to 'run' it. It uses a Starting Circle model where parents just sync up their existing plans. I think this could be a huge win for our community engagement without adding to our workload. Let’s try this for summer meetups—I’m grabbing our school’s Playbook today. We can talk through the concept at our next meeting.

Summer Break Grade Level Group

Hi! I’m sparking a 'Time to Play' community for our [Grade Level] families so the kids can stay connected over summer break. I’m looking for a few families to help me get it started by just sharing when you're heading to the park, pool, or library so we can all meet up naturally. It’s super low-stress with absolutely no hosting. Want to help me kick it off?

Incoming Kindergarten Group

Hey! I’m getting a 'Time to Play' community started for our incoming Kindergarteners. The goal is just to have the kids meet up for playdates this summer so they have friends on Day 1. I’m looking for a few families to help get the momentum going by just posting what you’re already doing—park, pool, whatever—and inviting the group to tag along. No hosting, just hanging out. Want to help me get it going?

Neighborhood Group

Hey! I’m sparking a ‘Time to Play’ Community for [Neighborhood/Area] so we can actually get the kids (and us!) together more often. I’m looking for a few families to help me get it started and maybe find a regular park day. It’s mostly just posting what we’re already doing—park, pool, whatever—and inviting the group to join us. No hosting or stress. Want to help me get it going?

Athletic Group

Hi! I’m sparking a 'Time to Play' community for our [Team Name/Sport] families so the kids can deepen friendships off the field. I’m looking for a few families to help me get it started by just sharing when you're heading to the park, pool, or field so we can all meet up naturally. It’s super low-stress with absolutely no hosting. Want to help me kick it off?

Church Group

Hi! I’m sparking a 'Time to Play' community for our [Church/Temple/Group] families so we can deep our community more during the week. I’m looking for a few families to help me get it started by just sharing when you're heading to the park, pool, or library so we can all meet up naturally. It’s super low-stress with no hosting required. Want to help me get it going?"

Club Group

Hi! I’m sparking a 'Time to Play' community for our [Club Name] families so the kids can hang out beyond our regular meetings. I’m looking for a few families to help me get it started by just sharing when you're heading to the park, pool, or library so we can all meet up naturally. It’s super low-stress with absolutely no hosting. Want to help me kick it off?
