We all want our kids to be a little more active…and what a great way to be active with them, then to host a family field day! This family fun activity works great if you have 2 or more children or perhaps if your own siblings have kids, it’s a good cousin bonding activity. You could even invite your neighbors or families from church.
All you have to do is make up some fun races and sporting events for the kids and yourselves to take part in. Mix them up and try, if you can, to include games that play to the individual strengths of all the kids. This will help to ensure that each kid will get a sense of achievement from the activity.
If you have a large backyard then set up your games there but otherwise go to a nearby park. This is a great way to get the kids to exercise, have fun and promote family bonding. It’s also a good way to show how awesome your kids are compared to your brother’s brood.
A great craft activity to do before the “BIG” day would be to make some blue ribbons for all the participants. Each guest can leave knowing they did a great job and that no matter what they are winners!
