Screen-Free Week is all about taking a break from digital entertainment and spending more time with family and friends, getting outdoors, and being more active and creative.
It's easy to forget that there are other things to do besides spending time with our devices, or it has just become a habit to use them. This international celebration helps to remind us to step away from the screens to do other things.
Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
1. Take a walk/hike.
2. Read a book.
3. Learn to juggle.
4. Learn to knit/crochet.
5. Learn to paint.
