This short Movietone film is part of the Leeds City Libraries collection and shows the celebrations that were held in Roundhay Park, Leeds for Children's Day. Title-A day for the children. The film opens at the finish line of a track watching the young boys as they compete in a sack race. As the first two boys come up to the finish line, they throw themselves onto the finish line and fall to the ground. Next, children take part in an obstacle course and crawl under a tarpaulin. Following this are a few brief shots of the May Queen walking in a procession and being crowned. The next section opens with a shot of Roundhay Park taken from a height and capturing hundreds of children carrying out exercise drills. There are some shots of the huge crowd of spectators seated in the stands and then back to the children who do jumps, stretches and balancing exercises.
