Draw, run, explore! Join us for Screen Free Week and rediscover the joy of life beyond the digital world.
Hoorah for Screen Free Week, launching bright and early on May 6! Originally known as TV Turnoff Week, this global event kick-started in the mid-1990s and has been a catalyst for families, schools, and communities to switch off from digital distractions and reignite a passion for shared moments. The screen-savvy among us are invited to embark on an exciting digital detox and take this golden opportunity to draw, run, explore, and engage in creative activities! Let's experience the joy of life beyond the four corners of our digital devices and appreciate the world from a fresh perspective!
Gather your family or friends and spend a day creating art. You can do painting, modeling clay, collage, or any medium you prefer. You'll be amazed at what your hands can create without the need for a computer, a tablet, or a phone.
Whether it's a big basketball game, a small badminton match, or a friendly game of frisbee in the park - active involvement in sports will keep you energized and screen-free. It's a great way to involve the community too!
Dust off that old recipe book that's been sitting on the shelf and take this chance to master a new dish. Challenge yourself not to use any digital recipes!
Arrange an exciting treasure hunt around your neighborhood. This gets everyone out of the house, exploring the great outdoors and forgetting about their screens for a bit.
Gather your bookworm friends and spend an evening discussing your favorite books. It's a great way to engage in meaningful conversations and cultivate a healthy habit at the same time.
Screen Free Week motivates participants to engage in physical activities such as sports events or even a neighbourhood treasure hunt. It also encourages us to tap into our creative side with arts and crafts, cooking new dishes, or diving into the pages of a good book.
Turning off screens for a week allows us to spend more quality time with family and friends. Whether it's through a shared sports event or lively discussions at a book club meeting, Screen Free Week enables genuine interaction where all our attention is devoted to the people around us.
In these digital times, it's all too easy to lose ourselves in the virtual world. Screen Free Week offers a refreshing break and a chance to explore and appreciate our surroundings, reigniting a sense of wonder for the world beyond the screen.
