Weekend Family Fun

The weekend has arrived…now what? January isn’t the most appealing month to get outside and play because most of us are inside hiding from the cold, winter weather. Instead of sitting around this weekend, DKWIO has some great ideas to get your family off the couch and moving …

  1. Get a jump-start on the Olympics – makeover your living room (or other large room) into an obstacle course. Designate certain areas for jumping jacks, push-up and sit-ups. Let your kids help with the course and help keep track of the times.
  2. Bust a move! Kids love dancing – and they will especially love dancing silly with you. Make up fun dances to perform for each other – just don’t forget the camera!
  3. Visit your local pool – who says you can’t go swimming in January?
  4. Rent a kid-friendly workout or yoga DVD and get moving.
  5. Go roller-skating.
