In 2025, French children aged 6 to 17 spend an average of 4 hours and 11 minutes a day in front of a screen, outside school time. That is a lot. Too much.
Once is not customary, and too bad for the paradox, I propose you in this article a resource to turn off the 😉 computer
How do we get our students to let go of their screens a little while offering them fun activities Who are they really interested in? Smartphones are constantly vibrating in their pockets, tablets are grabbing their attention, finding alternatives that hold up is quite a headache. Mission impossible? Offline Kids is an online resource created by a parent who is trying to rise to the challenge. I love it.

A library of activities without a screen that can be used free of charge
Offline Kids, what exactly is it? Basically, a free platform that brings together hundreds of ‘disconnected’ activities for children aged 1 to 10. The basic idea? Allow you to quickly find occupations that work well. Without turning on a screen. It is designed for teachers, parents and all those who care for children.
What makes this tool really practical is thatit is very easy to use. No account to create. No ads jumping at you. Just a well-stocked and logically organized catalogue. A smart site that clearly presents each activity with all the information you need: for what age it is suitable, how long it takes, if it risks putting the "bazaar" everywhere, and what material you need.
An ultra-malignant filter system that saves you time when you're in a hurry
Offline Kids’ interface is striking. Do you see the picture? You have fifteen minutes before recess and you are looking for something quiet to do with your students. Or you are planning a school trip and you want outdoor games. The filter system allows you to find exactly what you need, without wasting time.
The filters actually cover all the criteria that matter. Type of activity: plastic arts, games, music, activities around the theatre, or practical skills. The place: inside, outside, or even on the move. Duration: from 0-15 minutes to more than 2 hours. The precise age of the children. And even – I love it – the level of bazaar it will create.
A philosophy that truly respects your privacy
Offline Kids’ approach deserves to be highlighted. A parent created the project. He wanted to offer alternatives to screens, and it shows in the transparency of the site. No tracking cookies. No collection of your personal data. No business model that seeks to extract money from you. The site even offers a recipe for edible … cookies. Like a funny wink. A digital sobriety that does good and is well suited to school.
Only small shadow on the table for this free resource of public utility, language. The site is entirely in English. Don't let that discourage you. Any Online Translator will do the trick amply. I have tested on several activity sheets and the result is largely sufficient.
Turn off the screens, rekindle the desire to re-elect
In a context where recommendations on screen time are becoming more and more stringent, where families are becoming increasingly concerned, having a reliable resource on hand to offer alternatives is really valuable. At school, at home or on holiday, the Offline Kids Website deserves its place in your favorites.
