Sports games and competitions are a great alternative to watching TV, going to fast food and other popular family entertainment. Sport makes a family healthy and close-knit.
Skis, skates, bicycles - for a sports family
Skiing, cycling, rollerblading and skating is a very accessible and fun sport. Learning to skate or bike is easy, and walking together will strengthen your family well. You can arrange speed races or just take short trips. You can ride in specially designated areas or on the street; you do not need a special place for sports. The main thing to worry about is getting adequate protection. Be sure to buy knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet for your child, and preferably equip yourself.
Before you go on a bike or roller ride, explain the rules of the road to your child, or rather choose a route where there will be no highways.
Ball games - fun for all ages
A lot of family ball games allows you to make a good day off. If the whole family is big enough, you can even arrange a football match. You can also play basketball, pioneerball, volleyball. The only thing you need is a stadium or just a large area. A soccer goal or a basketball hoop can be made from handy tools. With young children, you can play simple ball games - "Edible-inedible", "Hot potatoes", "Bouncers", etc.
Joint hikes - closer to nature
Walking sports can help your family take a break from civilization and explore nature more closely. You can go hiking or boat trips. When going on a long hike, be sure to bring a small first aid kit and sunscreen if it happens in the summer. The hike can be perfectly combined with fishing or barbecuing. Children will be happy to take part in this activity.
When choosing a sport, focus on the child, his interests and level of physical fitness.
Calm sports
If your child is very tired in the sections or simply does not have the opportunity to actively engage in sports, try more relaxed types of it. Chess, checkers and backgammon are popular intellectual sports. The child will learn logic and perseverance, which will help with his studies. Another popular sport is darts. He does not require a lot of space, but he is very reckless and trains the eye well. And finally, you can go to the bowling club with the whole family. The weight of bowling balls varies from 10 to 3-5 kg, which allows even children to play it.
