It was a great day...be sure to join us next April. Watch our short video to see a bit of the fun--even on a rainy day there are lots of ways to be active.
Make physical activity a regular part of family play time – the more active kids are the more likely they are to continue being physically active later in life.
Allow kids to have unstructured playtime. All play is not created equal – kids need different types of play, including indoor and outdoor, active and inactive.
Reintroduce your kid to the basics of active play: play hopscotch or basketball, jump rope, or enjoy games such as “Red Light, Green Light” and “Simon Says”.
Limit screen time and use of electronic media to allow more time for play.
