 The days are getting warmer, they’re getting longer, and the kids are getting energetic. Now is the time to start thinking of activities that you can do together, to get everyone active and enjoying the summer that lies ahead. The smallest outings can be full of ideas and fun, and the potential for exercise is endless!
How about an outing to the beach? (Don’t forget to slip, slop, slap and wrap!) Look at everything through your child’s eyes. Walk along the beach, find shells, go pippi hunting in the sea- the important thing is to keep moving! If your child is learning and having fun while you stroll along the beach, they won’t even realise how far they are walking. Set up a game of beach cricket, get other families involved! Take your bikes; there are numerous tracks at many good national (and international) beaches. If the local authority allows, take the family pet! Discover what areas are available for the public and make a decision to explore them this summer. The beach, the forest, the river: go for it and get active!
