Playgroup Tasmania acknowledges that we live, work and play on Aboriginal land, land of the palawa people of lutruwita (Tasmania). We pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, to elders past and present and to all those who continue caring for country, sharing stories and upholding rights.

Intergenerational Playgroups


Wisdom & Wonder Play is designed to benefit everyone involved - children, parents, families, and older participants. By bringing different generations together, we not only nurture strong relationships but also break down social barriers, creating a warm and inclusive environment for all. Join us in celebrating the joy of intergenerational bonding and experience the many rewards of this unique program.

Intergenerational playgroups offer unique opportunities for the young and young at heart, to come together to play and share. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated the benefits of intergenerational programs for all involved, including:

  • increasing feelings of dignity and self-esteem of older people
  • increasing social interaction and development of relationships across generations
  • increasing levels of social inclusion
  • increasing passive engagement and enjoyment amount aged care home residents and
  • exposing younger generations to older people with diverse experiences.
