What are you doing when you are not with your family? Do you have any hobbies that do not include electronics?

We asked 133 kids, ages 8 to 13, that question and we received more than 25 answers. Here are the top five:

  • Drawing
  • Reading
  • Playing sports
  • Singing
  • Dancing

Some others that did well were gymnastics, sleeping, cooking and sewing. Most kids know they spend too much time on their electronic devices, so they need to put them down to do other things.

A few kids put down sleeping as a hobby. We are not sure it is, but that is what they like to do!
