Activities to Get Your Kids/Teens Out of the House and Playing Outside

Last month, we touched on some of our favorite books for parents, as well as what foods to stay away from for our kids. So in honor of it being the first week of spring, we want to talk about…⁣⁣⁣⁣𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬/𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞! ⁣⁣⁣⁣As spring approaches, our weather will begin to warm up, which means it’s easier to get outside and be active! ☀️ Here are a few easy outdoor activities to do as a family:⁣⁣⁣⁣ 1️⃣. 𝘎𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 – Walk or bike ride to somewhere fun or just around the neighborhood. This creates a good opportunity to create conversion with your kids as well as easy exercise for the whole family! ⁣⁣⁣⁣2️⃣. 𝘋𝘰 𝘢 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘵 – We know our teens love taking photos on their phones, so why not make it fun? A photo scavenger hunt is a great way to keep your teen busy while outside. If you have tech-savvy kids, this is a wonderful way to get them exploring outside while tapping into their interests. ⁣⁣⁣3️⃣. 𝘋𝘰 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘛𝘪𝘬 𝘛𝘰𝘬/𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥 – As our teens tend to spend most for their time on social media, why not combine that with spending time with them outside? It’s okay if you have two left feet, it’s about engaging your teen and having fun in the process!⁣⁣⁣What was your favorite outside activity growing up? Maybe it’s something you’d like to do with your family? Share some ideas in the comments!👇
