We’re sharing ideas to get you prepared for a week full of activities with your family away from our televisions, laptops, iPhones, iPads, Smartphones, Gameboys, Playstations,  you name it we’re UNPLUGGING for a week!  That means you too Mom and Dad!  It’s time to read, think, play, create and get physically active with our families!

We’ve created a few printables to help your child experience the most from this Screen Free Week.

Here’s a sign to hang on your television or Computer Screen as a video reminder that it’s Screen free Time.  This might be helpful during the summer time as a reminder too!

    Love the idea of a screen free week.
    Mine don't watch much t.v. or do a lot of games, but it would be interesting to see if we could go a whole week!

    Thank you so much Deb! I really appreciate you sharing the info with your numerous followers! I'm looking forward to the week for us it's more me taking time away from the computer which is tricky. I'm sure I'll be sharing about it next Monday in our After School Linky Up! Since we'll be missing this weeks. The other sites will be hosting it though.

    That's great! We try to limit our kids but I'm wondering how much I've been really focusing on it recently so I'm glad we're doing this. For our house it's going to be more the adult's stepping away from screens too in the evenings once the kids are asleep.
