Swim with my granddaughter !
blowing bubbles! keeps them entertained and has them running around popping the bubbles 🙂
My kids are all grown up 🙁
We would go on long walks, hiking, following me when I ran on their bikes, and tag!!
Rock, Bridge, Tree! each person is one of these things and a fourth is the person running the course. You jump over the rock, crawl under the bridge, and run a circle around the tree. The the person running becomes the next item in the chain (i.e. if you have 3, then the fourth becomes a rock). All others stay the same thing until they run the course. We run this for 3-4 minutes
**This is better for older children, but it can be fun with a few alterations for the little ones 🙂
We love dancing and playing tag!!!
I don’t have kids of my own…but with my nieces when they were smaller, i would sit them on my feet, and do leg lifts…the kids loved it, and I would do it until my legs burned…The kids loved it, and would giggle as they took turns!!
When my boys were younger, I would do the “airplane” or “superman” excercise. I would lie on my back and I would pick them up by placing my feet on their Tummy and they would holds my hands and I’d pick them up and over toward my head. I would do this several times. They loved it!!
There’s several activites that we love! I tula wear my baby during many of these activities. We walk, bike ride, dance ect, but I’m soooo excited that my daughter and son are getting a little older so we can add in some new activites…. for example:rock climbing, canoeing and paddleboarding 🙂 (my personal favorite is rock climbing, but I’ve never been paddleboarding yet)….. enjoy trying out some new activites with your family, going with my family makes the time so much more enjoyable!
Just last week, I finally learned to Longboard. I’m 42 and haven’t even tried skateboarding since I was a teenager. My kids make it look so much fun. I was determined to join in the fun with my kids, so I learned how….even though I’m a little slower than them. I can’t take a chance of injuring myself. Now, every night after
dinner, my husband, 3 childeren, and I all go for a family skateboard ride around the block a few times. Even my mom likes to come over and follow us on her bike.
Every Saturday morning, I set up an obstacle gymnastics course and help my kids learn flexibility and coordination.
