How Do You Keep Kids Physically Active In Winter?
During winter when the days are short and kids are getting bored, it helps to direct their energy into play. Why not send them outside for some fun and games? Or if the weather doesn’t cooperate, start an indoor roller derby league. None of these ideas cost a dime, just a little imagination. Here are a few activities for kids ages 6 and up. Fit your kiddo in some roller skates. Then find someone with a concrete basement, it could be yours, a neighbor’s or your child’s best friend’s house. Remove obvious hazards from the basement to make it a safe playground. Have all the kids lace up their skates and unleash them upon the cellar. It doesn’t take that much space for kids to create their own skating environment. With a little imagination they can dream up all kinds of races and games. Bundle the kids up and send them out in the snow. Nothing is more exciting than a day off from school due to snow. Send them out in it–all day! Stuff them into their snowsuits for an hour or two of snowbal
