I did this when our kids were in grade school and it was a huge hit…I had 100 kids out of 300 participate. We did a BINGO game with ideas of other things to do…ride a bike…go to the park…play a card game…etc….it was a bingo card of family ideas. The kids had to bring in a bingo or if they did a blackout and their parent signed that they did not watch TV, play video games, etc – they got a small prize. We are going to do it at my church in April. This is a wonderful thing to promote!

As I browsed around online I came across some useful tips to engage kids in reading on Matthew Gollub’s website http://www.matthewgollub.com. During National TV Turn off Week he suggests things like; clipping newspaper articles of interest to older kids and planting them where they’re sure to be seen, keeping a reading log of everything your child reads for the week, listening to books on tape while driving and selecting closed captions on your TV. If we set the example and make reading exciting and fun kids will also establish a love for reading in their free time!

I could absolutely do it- I don’t know if I’ll be able to convince my husband though. And the “other” screen? Maybe I could try every other day?
