| Put Away the Screens and Play Together! | Busy schedules leave little time for play. In addition, screen-based entertainment is a constant distraction. Children need to learn how to become engaged in simple games and outdoor play after the rapid-fire zap, zap, zap they get from screen activities. TRUCE (Teachers Resisting Unhealthy Children?s Entertainment), created a set of Family Play Plans to provide some simple ideas for seasonal family activities. All the suggested activities use inexpensive or free materials that are readily available such as sand, water, cardboard, bubbles, or string. Unlike specialized toys, open-ended materials like these offer endless opportunities for rich, creative, and on-going play. | Document |
