Indoor Weather

When the rain or snow starts to fly, Michigan's crazy weather can slow down your family's physical activity routines.
Beat Bad Weather Blahs
  • Groove Thing. Dance with your kids to songs with a good beat. Teach them some moves from your childhood.
  • Something Unusual. Build an obstacle course or treasure hunt in the basement or throughout the house.
  • Snow Bunnies. Bundle up and go sledding or cross country skiing. Also, try building a snow fort and a snowman, and then have a friendly snowball fight.
  • On Ice. Organize a neighborhood hockey team. Spend some time at an ice rink or, if there isn't one nearby, go to an indoor roller-skating rink.
  • School's Cool. Find out if a nearby school has "open gym" and take the family. Also, visit a school or community center's indoor pool.
  • Something New. Learn something new with your child. Go to the library and check out a video or DVD on a new activity like yoga, kickboxing, or karate.
