| At home, reaching the goal of getting kids to move more
can lead to fun for everyone in the family. All you have to do is make a
point of moving more each and every day.
|
| Fun Ideas |
|
Join In. Join your child in playing catch, jumping rope or playing
hopscotch. Promote healthy outdoor activities like tag, hide and seek,
waking the dog, nature walks, ice skating or making snowmen.
|
|
Something New. Try a new activity together. How about line dancing,
in-line skating, golfing or doing a "fun walk/run" as a family?
|
|
Park It. Instead of driving, walk to the store or playground..
|
|
Family Time. Visit a local park or trail. Take a family walk,
hike, or bike ride. (Don't forget to wear your bike helmets.)
|
|
After School. Encourage after-school neighborhood games like
basketball, softball, kickball, football and soccer.
|
|
Household Tasks. Chores count as activity, too! Mow the lawn,
shovel the walk, vacuum the carpet, or rake the leaves to get the heart
pumping.
