So put away the screens and gather your family for some screen-free fun! Here are a few of our favorite activities from the book:

Hide-and-Seek: This classic game is always a hit with kids of all ages. To play, one person hides while the others count to 100. Then, the search begins!
Tag: Another classic game that's perfect for kids of all ages. To play, one person is "it" and tries to tag the other players. If someone is tagged, they become "it."
Red Rover: This game is a great way to get everyone moving. To play, line up in two lines facing each other. One team calls out the name of a player from the other team. That player then runs across the middle and tries to break through the other team's line. If they succeed, they choose a player from the other team to join their team. If they fail, they become a member of the other team.
Simon Says: This game is a great way to improve your listening skills. To play, one person is "Simon" and gives commands to the other players. The players must only follow the commands that start with "Simon says."
Charades: This game is a great way to test your acting skills. To play, one person acts out a word or phrase while the other players guess what it is.
Pictionary: This game is similar to charades, but instead of acting out words or phrases, you draw them.
Painting: Painting is a great way to express your creativity. To paint, you'll need some paint, brushes, and paper. You can paint anything you want, from landscapes to still lifes to abstract art.
Drawing: Drawing is another great way to express your creativity. To draw, you'll need some pencils or crayons and paper. You can draw anything you want, from people to animals to objects.
Building with Blocks: Building with blocks is a great way to develop your spatial reasoning skills. To build with blocks, you'll need some blocks, such as wooden blocks, LEGOs, or Mega Bloks. You can build anything you want, from houses to cars to castles.
Playing with Playdough: Playing with playdough is a great way to develop your fine motor skills. To play with playdough, you'll need some playdough and some cookie cutters or other tools. You can make anything you want with playdough, from animals to food to people.

These are just a few of the many screen-free activities that you'll find in this book. So put away the screens and gather your family for some screen-free fun!
