Do you remember when you were a kid and all the time you spent outdoors playing with friends until your Mother called you for dinner? Maybe it was manhunt, kickball, baseball, jump rope, or riding your bike around the neighborhood with friends, whatever it was do you ever think how nice it would be to enjoy a day like that again? Wouldn’t you love to get back that enthusiasm and that energy you had as a child? Have you noticed that your own children seem to spend more time indoors, watching TV, playing video games, or spending time on the computer socializing with friends? If you answered yes to all these questions why not start making time for outside activities that you and your family can enjoy together; you can get back that feeling you had as a kid and encourage long term healthy habits for your children by keeping them active!
Now that summer is right around the corner, there are many fun activities to do outside that you and your family can take advantage of. Before picking certain activities to do make sure everyone has a positive attitude about it. You want to pick something that you all will enjoy; you never want to force your child into getting involved because that would take the fun out of it and FUN is the most important part!
We have made a list of fun ideas for you and your family, but try and to be creative and think of some of your own ideas based on where you live. There may be certain events that go on in your community that you can take advantage of; I know in my own town we have “Music Under The Stars” in our local parks throughout the summer, lots of dancing and tons of kids playing various games around the park!
◦Start simple if you enjoy power walking or jogging invite your kids along to ride their bikes, skateboard or rollerblade next to you.
◦Go to the park together, pack a lunch and make a day of it. You can play Frisbee, Catch, Tag or any game you know your family enjoys.
◦You could find out about local bike trails and go for a bike ride as a family.
◦Try a nature walk or hiking
◦Are you near the Ocean or a Lake? Take off to the beach one day; there are a ton of activities, like Volleyball and Swimming you can enjoy. No beaches by you, try a local swimming pool.
◦If you do live by the water look into activities like Kayaking or Paddle Boats for you and your family to enjoy.
◦Maybe you can all join a class together such as Tennis or Rock Climbing
◦Check out your local fun runs they could range from the100 meter dash for young kids, 1 mile family fun run or 5k.
◦Try camping, you can combine many activities in one trip
◦Or maybe a good old fashion water balloon fight
