Off-Screen Events

Sitting in your chair is tough. We know. We’ve all been getting a lot of practice sitting.

Take a break from your computer. Seriously. Get up and walk away. While you’re away, we have some suggested screen-free activities for you.

Want to show what you’ve been up to away from your screen? Post about it on social media with the hashtags #MidwestMorrisAle and #VirtuAle
All the images provided are for you to use! Grab a copy, take a screenshot, download the image and add it to Instagram or Twitter. Share these challenges with your friends. Maybe they’ll be inspired to join in!

Below are some descriptions to get your ideas flowing. We will be posting Challenges throughout the weekend.
