- +["During the COVID-19 lockdowns, children and teenagers faced extended isolation, reduced physical activity, and limited social interaction — all of which negatively impacted their mental well-being. While many programs focused on education and food access, fewer addressed free and safe recreational options for kids, especially those without access to gaming consoles or paid apps.\n\nI propose encouraging the use of lightweight, browser-based games that don’t require downloads or logins. These can serve as short mental breaks during online schooling or as stress-relief tools for kids stuck indoors.\n\nOne example is https://theheadsoccerunblocked.com, which offers free access to the Head Soccer game. It’s simple, engaging, and works even on low-end devices or restricted networks like schools or libraries.\n\nBy sharing such tools through schools, community centers, or local governments, we can support children’s emotional health with accessible and cost-free digital recreation, both during emergencies and in everyday life."]
