How to Activate Screen-Free Sleep In Your School or Community
Work with other adults to activate in places like your schools, classrooms, sports teams, dance studios, faith-based groups, among parents at a workplace. Anyone can be a part of our movement!
Ideas To Activate
1. Set up an information-spreading activity, such as during a school day drop-off or pick-up, an evening event, a sports event, etc.
- Have volunteers standing or set up a table, and provide resources to spark discussions.
- Print and distribute copies of our handout, “Parent Guide, Screen Free Sleep”, which gives concrete ways parents can make this happen in their home.
- Use our ready-made signs to draw attention.
- Consider handing out iSleep Pro Kits:
- You can put together a DIY iSleep Pro Kit (about $2 each): sleep mask, info insert, alarm clock stickers in simple packaging.
- Or, simply hand out affordable sleep masks alongside the handouts.
- Consider selling basic alarm clocks (at cost) to highlight healthy sleep routines.
2. Host a Screening of one of the Screenagers films, followed by a call-out to Screen-Free Sleep
- Show one of the Screenagers films and have a table set up with our handout titled, “Parent Guide, Screen Free Sleep”.
- Consider making DIY iSleep Pro kits to hand out.
- All of the 4 Screenagers films address sleep topics. Learn more about the movies here
- Pre or post the film, you could run our short spoof video in which a Steve Jobs lookalike reveals the greatest tech for children’s sleep: iSleep Pro (showing that the best tech is no tech at bedtime).
3. Work with parents in your child’s elementary class to get as many parents as possible to pledge yes to Screen-free sleep
- Let other parents know about this website and taking the pledge.
- Email parents our handout, “Parent Guide, Screen Free Sleep”.
- We have a pre and post pledge survey that you can use to see the impact of your efforts.
- Let others know how it is going to inspire other classes to do the same.
4. Host a Flash Mob Event
- We have taken the Flash Mob dance that launched the campaign and made it into a short easy to follow dance. Here is this teaching video.
- Get parents and kids together and have fun doing the dance. Here are two families having fun doing the dance together.
- You could perform it at an event like those above, or film it and share with others to spread the word!
5. Spread the Word Online
- Social Media: Post campaign images, videos, or your own photos of activities.
- Newsletters: post in school, PTA and other emails about the Campaign and link to the website. Encourage people to sign the pledge.
- Tag us @ScreenFreeSleep on Instagram and if you have permission from all involved, please send us images and videos of your events so we can spread the word on our pages.
