Every California district had to adopt a policy limiting student smartphones by July 1, 2026 (AB 3216, the Phone-Free Schools Act). Students who used to scroll at lunch now need easy, low-pressure things to do. This kit gives lunch supervisors, librarians, ASB and after-school staff a ready-to-print set of puzzles, games and conversation starters, with no screens and no prep beyond the copier.
