Ban on 'no ball games' signs suggested to get kids off screens

Play experts suggest banning "no ball games" signs to encourage outdoor play and reduce screen time among children. The Raising the Nation Play Commission calls for a national Play Strategy for England, advocating for more play-friendly environments, opening school playgrounds to the community, and protecting playtime in schools. The report highlights the decline in outdoor play and the importance of safe, accessible play spaces for children's physical and mental well-being.
