Today, Canadian kids spend the equivalent of a full work day in front of some kind of screen, which usually cuts into the leisure time that used to be dedicated to running around and playing outside. As part of its efforts to keep kids active, non-profit ParticipAction has launched a series of ads by Zulu Alpha Kilo that show how screens can, quite literally, take over the kind of playing that helps kids reach the recommended amount of exercise they should be getting every day.
