Screen-Free Week this year is May 1-7, 2023. The week is planned to give children and families time to do things together, play, go outside, and engage in other activities rather than staring at a screen. Your PTA can offer programs during Screen-Free Week to give families an activity-filled night during the week.
The Screen-Free Week website has lots of information and resources to help your family or your PTA participate in the program. On the website, you will find:
- The Screen-Free Week pledge
- Resources for families, school organizers, and community organizers (all in English, Spanish, and French), including flyers, sample social media posts, graphics, handouts, and activity ideas
- A place where your PTA can register their Screen-Free Week event
- A blog covering how other groups have implemented Screen-Free Week in the past
Screen-Free Week is aimed at getting us all to step away from “entertainment screens,” so your kids can’t use it as a “Get Out of Homework Free” card. Check out the Screen-Free Week website for how your family or your PTA can participate, and don’t forget about all the programs from National PTA and Illinois PTA that you can use to plan a Screen-Free Week event.
