ing Screen-Free Week (April 29-May 5), families are sometimes challenged with what to do once all the devices are turned off. So why not encourage students to charge up their imaginations this week with the NFL Play 60 Invention Contest ?

If they submit a new idea about staying active, they have a chance to win up to $5,000 plus an NFL-sponsored grand prize 3-day trip for the winner and a parent or guardian.

The NFL Play 60 Invention Contest is under way now and runs through July 12. Kids can enter the contest by submitting an idea in a choice of categories. They are prompted through a series of five questions and can submit photos with their entry as well. The contest is open to children ages 6 through 12.

The categories are:

• Active indoor or outdoor games
• Fitness equipment or training devices
• Exercise equipment
• Football-theme games or activities

There are step-by-step guidelines on the NFL Play 60 Invention Contest website that will help kids and parents get details on the contest. Plus, there’s a fun brainstorming tips section to help get the creative juices flowing.
