Play Tag with the family pet
It's not just humans who enjoy playing tag! Involve your furry friend in some exercise by setting up an obstacle course and having your kids chase them around as they try to avoid being caught. This activity is sure to bring plenty of laughs while providing a great workout for both parties involved!
Jumping rope
All you need is a jump rope and a little floor space to get your kids active and their heart rates up. Not only does jumping rope help improve coordination, but it also strengthens muscles and burns calories too!
Go for a nature walk
Get out into nature and explore the world around you! Take a leisurely stroll through the park or take a hike in the woods. Encourage your kids to look for interesting plants and animals, or have them collect leaves and other natural objects they find along the way.
Dance Party
Who says you need a dance floor to have a good time? Put on some fun music and let your little ones boogie around the living room! This activity will not only get them moving, but it's also great for developing coordination and rhythm too.
Make up your own games.
Give your kids the freedom to make up their own games! Encourage imaginative play by setting up made-up obstacles or activities with everyday items found around the home. From stack cup mazes to paper airplane races, there's no limit to the fun your children can have when they use their imaginations!
