Families got to enjoy some time together – and away from digital devices – over the weekend with the start of Unplug and Play activities for Family Literacy Week, Jan. 20-27.
Organized by the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society, more than 50 free Unplug and Play activities were scheduled with partners throughout the region, giving families opportunities to trade screen time for a variety of creative, social, educational and physically active experiences.
Several events were helped kick things off Saturday, Jan. 20, including magic shows with Leif David in Salmon Arm and Armstrong, Juggling with Evan at the Sicamous library and theatre-based games and activities at Shuswap Theatre.
A full list of activities can be found on the back page of last week’s Shuswap Market, and at shuswapliteracy.ca.
