Balancing screen time

Practice a helpful move for balancing screen time.

Picture cards: Choose a time to pause · Put it aside · Pick what to do next

Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Pretend to put a device down and pick a different activity. Say “I’ll play for a while.” Invite the student to point, show you, or say it with you.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
