Lesson Plan

Screen Time: Grades K-2

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Two lessons encourage class members to go screen-free. The first lesson challenges two teams to create a list of screen-free games. The team with the most ideas wins. Individuals then draw a picture of themselves doing one of the activities. Lesson two invites participants to build a screen-free train by drawing a daily picture and adding it to the engine.
