It's no secret that teens use their phones a lot these days. However, when one principal noticed that students were looking down on their phones at lunch instead of talking to each other, it gave her an idea to start a new lunchtime tradition.
It's no secret that teens use their phones a lot these days. However, when one principal noticed that students were looking down on their phones at lunch instead of talking to each other, it gave her an idea to start a new lunchtime tradition.
She hoped the tradition would get the school's teens talking to each other face-to-face.
Each student gets a colored card that corresponds to a table and students with the same card then sit together for lunch. This way, they get a chance to meet new friends and participate in a fun ice-breaker activity.
Students say they enjoy the lunchtime routine because it gives them a chance to meet people outside of their social circle.
This simple solution sounds like a great way to reduce bullying in schools. How long until every school starts doing this?
