Screen-Free Week Challenge

Screen-Free Challenge

DID YOU KNOW MAY 3-9 IS SCREEN-FREE WEEK?

ARE YOU UP FOR A CHALLENGE?

Between televisions, laptops, and cell phones – can you guess many hours each day you spend in front of a screen?

A 2019 study by Common Sense Media found that the teens they surveyed averaged 7-and-a-half hours of screen time every day.

And FYI, those hours did not include the time spent doing assignments at school or homework.

Over the past year, it’s likely that screen time shot up for everyone due to the time spent at home during the pandemic.

Challenge: This weekend, pick one day, a few hours, or even an hour to put down your phone, close your laptop, and turn off your TV!

To find lots of fun things to fill your time, go to the official Screen-Free Week website for: 101 Screen-free activities, Screen-free Saturday ideas, bingo cards, books lists, and many, many more resources for educators, families, and others! You won't be sorry.
