Fun After-School
The after-school hours are a critical time to keep kids moving. Encourage your children to play outside and try activities like these:
- play catch with a baseball, football, or frisbee
- have a game of tag or monkey in the middle
- play driveway hockey or draw chalk lines on the driveway for hopscotch or 4-square
- create their own dance moves to their favourite songs and perform for the family
- skip rope - head indoors when the weather is cold
- go to the park with friends - help your child improve his or her fitness skills by encouraging the use of swing, slides, monkey bars, etc…
- go mountain climbing…okay, maybe just scale the hills in your yard or neighbourhood park or hike in a local ravine or trail system
- keep track of how many times they can walk around the block in 30 minutes - if you live on a farm, keep track of how long it takes to walk around the entire property one time
- register your child at a sports club or community centre for lessons or activities like karate, bowling, yoga, hip hop, basketball or swimming
