For 56 years, Play School has been there for Australians young and old, bringing fun, education and a sense of safety in uncertain times.
If you walk into a playground and start to sing "There's a bear in there", chances are someone else at that playground will join you with "and a chair as well".
"When my younger brother was born in 2001, my love for Play School was reignited and I loved watching the show with him. This is when we would bond, watching hosts such as Jay, Rhys and Georgie.Play School was first broadcast by the ABC on July 18, 1966, as a copy of the BBC's Play School program, and it is the second-longest-running kids TV show in the world.While the program has changed over the years to reflect Australian society, key aspects have stayed the same.
The different shaped windows, an early introduction to the show, was an original element that the British version didn't have. "I just love that I watched Play School as a child and am reliving all the fun games, songs and characters again with my daughter. So many generations have gained so much from this fabulous show," Rebecca wrote.
