Family fun works at its best when there is something in it
for everyone. Whether it is winter or summer, there are the museums to visit
and the dinosaurs; you are getting fresh air traveling back and forth, but spending
time indoors as well as outdoors. It is beneficial for some of your activities
to take into account spending time outdoors and getting some Vitamin D
protection; also good for fresh air to get into the lungs. If there are three
kids who all have their own ideas, sit down with mom and dad at the table to
decide where to go.
Outdoor activities with benefits
·
The zoo is always good as kids love animals and
parents are curious and have fun too. Do not feed the animals as they will
overfeed; they might also lash out at you through the metal bars. It is a good
activity as you walk around to the different pens and get exercise and fresh
air. Bonus for parents? Yes, the kids will be tired when they get home and will
have a good night’s sleep.
·
Another outdoor activity if there is fresh snow
is to put on your all-weather jacket and build a snowman together. Mom and dad
can participate. You can throw snow balls at one another.
·
The family can go together to the skating rink
and have fun. They will meet their friends on the frozen rink and have time to
spend some time together as most times during snowy weather people stay
indoors.
·
If the weather is cold, but not snowing yet, the
family can also go for a walk. Stay away from frozen-over lakes where there are
iffy patches and you might crack the surface of the ice and fall in.
·
Go surfing down the hill if there is enough snow
and your parents allow it.
Indoor activities with benefits
There are enough indoor activities the whole family can
enjoy and ones you probably have already incorporated into your life:
1
Do you have a movie night where the children can pick
the movie and the kids help you make the popcorn? If you haven’t done this
already, select a night where you will regularly turn up and watch a film the
whole family can enjoy.
2
Play a computer game or a board game everyone can
participate in. To avoid your kids playing too many computer games, set a time
limit of one or two hours, and then switch it off.
3
Pack a great picnic lunch with roast chicken and salad and
have a treat eating in the park. Don’t throw the chicken bones around; some dog
will snatch it up and the bones might get stuck in his throat.
4
Go for rides at the local fair in summer and choose
rides which are safe for kids your age. Accompany your kids on these rides.
5
Throw a Frisbee in the park and let the dog be part of
it.
6
Go together to church; a family who prays together stay
together.
