Turn off the television and computer, and turn on your imagination next week.

Litchfield Community Education will sponsor the third annual Turn Off the TV/Screen Week, April 21-26. Stop by the Community Education Office to pick up a free kit with signs to put over the screens in your house, ideas for non-screen activities and facts and figures about the American TV habit.

Looking for something to do instead of watching your favorite sitcom or surfing the Internet? Here are some ideas:

• Monday, April 21: Old-fashioned games at Augustana Homes. Preschoolers to seniors are invited to the Gloria Dei dining room from 7 to 8:30 p.m. to play board games, card games, dominoes and possibly outdoor games.
• Tuesday, April 22: Gym and swim night. The middle school gym and high school pool will be open from 6:30 to 8 p.m. giving families a chance to get active.
• Thursday, April 24: Story Time. Storyteller Bob Gasch is back sharing stories at 7 p.m. at the Litchfield Public Library. Free books and bookmarks will be given out from 6:30 to 8 p.m
• Friday, April 25: Bowling night. Litchfield Bowling Center will welcome families from 3 p.m. to midnight. Stop by the Community Education office for a coupon to bowl a game for only $2, including ball and shoe rental.
• Saturday, April 26: Bike and Hike around Lake Ripley. Bring your bike or walking shoes to the West Ripley Park shelter at 8 a.m. for a trek around the lake. Water and other healthy food items will be available. The event will be canceled in the event of rain.
