Start by writing 100 at the top of each player\u2019s page, and lay the card deck facedown in the middle. Each player draws a card, and subtracts the number on it from their total (facecards count as 10). For example, in the first round, kids will subtract the number on the card they draw from 100. Continue playing and subtracting until one player reaches zero and wins the game!

class=\"wp-block-list has-border-color has-background\">\n<li><strong>Let kids choose activities: <\/strong>Whenever possible, let children choose their own play activities. If they\u2019re having trouble getting started, provide a list of suggestions, but don\u2019t force them to pick one that doesn\u2019t interest them. When they\u2019re enthusiastic about their choice, they won\u2019t even miss screens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Switch things up: <\/strong>Put away some screen-free toys and games for a while, then bring them back out when kids are looking for something new to do. This is an easy, inexpensive way to keep things fresh and new!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep expectations realistic:<\/strong> Screens can be fun, and kids will likely push back when you try to take them away. Rather than going \u201ccold turkey,\u201d work in increasing amounts of screen-free play, choosing activities that you know your child really loves. Over time, you\u2019ll be able to find a good balance between devices and screen-free activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it fun, not forced:<\/strong> Don\u2019t pretend something is enjoyable when your child clearly isn\u2019t enjoying it. Instead, offer alternative activities. \u201cIt seems like you\u2019re not really enjoying our nature walk. Would you rather go to the playground instead?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Model screen-free fun:<\/strong> Kids learn by watching adults. Make sure your own daily routine includes enjoyable screen-free activities, so children can see good habits in action. It will be good for your own health too!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:65px;border-top-right-radius:65px;border-bottom-left-radius:65px;border-bottom-right-radius:65px;background-color:#f7b30524;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-acf682affb280c2bb303758eecf487bd\" id=\"FAQ\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:65px;border-top-right-radius:65px;border-bottom-left-radius:65px;border-bottom-right-radius:65px;color:#8c0101;margin-top:0\"><strong>Screen-Free Activities for Kids FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" data-schema-only=\"false\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">What are screen-free activities?<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.5\">Screen-free activities are any activities that don\u2019t involve using a computer, tablet, phone, television, video game console, or other electronic device. This includes activities like taking a nature walk, coloring in a coloring book, competing at sports, playing a card or board game, or creating a craft project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" data-schema-only=\"false\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Why are screen-free activities important?<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.5\">Screen-free activities are important because <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10852174\/\">research shows that too much uninterrupted screen time can be bad for your health<\/a>. Devices like computers, phones, and tablets offer many benefits and have become an integral part of daily life. But spending hours on end using screens can cause physical, mental, and emotional problems. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to incorporate screen-free activities into your daily routine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" data-schema-only=\"false\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">How do I reduce my child\u2019s screen time?<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.5\">One of the easiest ways to reduce your child\u2019s screen time is with a daily schedule. Set aside specific time for using a computer or tablet or watching TV, and then turn devices off and put them away. Even more importantly, strive for active screen time (playing an interactive learning game) over passive screen time (watching streaming media while sitting on the couch). For example, ABCmouse offers quality interactive educational activities that make screen time both fun and valuable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" data-schema-only=\"false\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">What are easy screen-free activities at home?<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.5\">There are so many easy screen-free activities to try at home, like blowing bubbles, playing hide-and-seek, drawing your own comic book, building with LEGOs, learning to knit or crochet, coloring, shooting hoops, building a blanket fort, learning to cook, and much more!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:67px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/query\" data-wp-key=\"9\" data-wp-router-region=\"query-9\" class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul style=\"color:#01075f;letter-spacing:0.5px\" class=\"columns-3 aofl-advice-profile-posts wp-block-post-template has-text-color is-layout-grid wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-cda6dc4f wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid\"><li data-wp-key=\"post-template-item-261594\" class=\"wp-block-post post-261594 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-activities tag-activities tag-first-grade tag-kindergarten tag-preschool tag-second-grade\">\n<figure class=\"alignwide wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1774\" height=\"887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-free-activities-for-kids-featured-image.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Bright children&#039;s craft scene with two kids drawing;
