about

Our monsters love being on their tablets, smartphones, computers, TV screens and game consoles. Sometimes it's tricky to get them to do other fun things. Troggg encourages all of his friends to put down their devices and play, eat, dress, read and go go go! He uses simple and mindful moves that kids and their carers can do together to divert attention away from the screen - clap, stand, jump and hi five. Great for families, childcare centres and vacation care.

DOWN THE DEVICE LYRICS

Hey Bangles
Yes Troggg!
It’s time to put down that device.
Oh no!
Oh yes!
But why?
Because that’s enough screen time!
It’s time to play!
Yay!

That’s enough screen time
CLAP!
That’s enough screen time
STAND
That’s enough screen time
JUMP
That’s enough screen time
HI FIVE!

It’s time to ...
Down the device
And go out and play
Turn off the screen
And go out and play
Put away the phone
And go out and play
Because playing is so much fun!
Let’s play!

Hey Scrambles
Yes Troggg!
It’s time to put down that device!
Oh no!
Oh yes!
But why?
Because that’s enough screen time!
It’s time to eat!
Yum!

That’s enough screen time
CLAP!
That’s enough screen time
STAND
That’s enough screen time
JUMP
That’s enough screen time
HI FIVE!

It’s time to down the device
And eat my food
Turn off the screen
And eat my food
Put away the phone
And eat my food
Cause’ eating gives me energy!
Let’s eat!

Hey Flossy

Cause’ you can’t go out in the nude!
Get dressed!

CLAP!
That’s enough screen time

That’s enough screen time
HI FIVE!

It’s time to down the device
And pick up a book
Turn off the screen
And pick up a book
Put away the phone
And pick up a book
'Cause reading’s the best adventure ever.
Read a book!

Hey Marina

And go go go!

And go go go!
Put away the phone
And go go go!
'Cause going out’s a fun part of life
Let’s go!!!!
