Take a break from screens while moving!

Taking a break from screens is a healthy habit for both children and parents. Why not replace your screen time with a family activity that will get you moving? Take the opportunity to discover new neighborhoods, new trails and to invite your neighbors to join you!

Here are some activities that are easy to organize with the family or with your neighbors, which require very little preparation and equipment in order to leave plenty of room for fun:

• Visit a park in another neighborhood
• Collect the leaves on the ground
• Go for a walk near a stream
• Organize a family tournament: soccer, baseball, tennis, etc.
