Kids Off The Couch KidsOffTheCouch.com offers a free, weekly e-newsletter that provides families with fresh ideas for getting kids off the couch and into their city. The secret? A bowl of popcorn and a memorable movie or media experience. Like a spoonful of sugar, the magic of a good media will lure kids to cultural outings that are more than typical kid fare. Road-tested on real kids, past adventures have helped kids ponder the universe at planetariums, explore ethnic neighborhoods, and learn how the local newspaper lands on their doorsteps each morning. A subscription includes monthly Special Editions highlighting vacation ideas, sweepstakes, giveaways and film screening invitations.
