Easy ways to encourage kids to get active
Physical activity promotes growth and development. Always encourage your child to get 60 minutes of physical activity every day. This can be broken up into chunks or done all at once. Here are some great tips to encourage your kids to be active
Organized Activities- This could include family bike rides or walks, hopscotch, Simon Says, or even going bowling or to a local swimming pool if that is permitted.
Make screen time an active time-Encourage active video games this include activities such as dancing or interactive sports
Get help with chores- Raking, shoveling, and gardening are all great ways to be physical active while helping out around the house
Be an active role model- Show kids how you can be physically active five days a week for a least thirty minutes. They learn by watching you!
