What could happen if your family unplugged from screens for just one day?

The Unplug & Play BINGO Challenge is a simple and fun way to trade screen time for connection, creativity, and laughter.

Invite your family to power down devices for as long as you can and use the BINGO card to guide your day. Each square is designed to spark meaningful moments—whether that’s playing together, talking together, serving together, or simply enjoying being present with one another.

You don’t have to be perfect. Start where you are, take breaks if needed, and celebrate progress over perfection. The goal isn’t just to fill the card—it’s to create space for relationships to grow and memories to be made.

Choose a day, gather your family, and see how many squares you can complete. One day. One card. A whole lot of connection.
