It’s that time of the year where the weather is unpredictable! Some days its warm-ish, some days it’s bitter cold, it’s wet, it’s dry, it’s hard to keep track. It’s also hard to get kids outside and moving, so we made it easier for you with our top picks: 

Visit a Trampoline Park

Kids love running and jumping at trampoline parks, and there are plenty to choose from: 

Have a “Snow Ball” Fight

Ball up your socks for the ultimate “snowball” fight! Who needs snow? You can get creative and build snow forts, too! Get ready to dip, dodge and duck those “snowballs!”

Sign Em’ Up for Gymnastics

Kids love recreational gymnastics! Let paid instructors teach your child gymnastics skills while getting their bodies moving, or search local gymnastics studios for open gyms. Many places offer the first class free to see if your child likes it.

Sign Up for Swim Lessons

The winter is a great time to ensure your kids swim skills are ready to go for pool season. While they are having fun in the pool during their lesson, they are also building up their strength and endurance.

Visit an Indoor Playground!

There are plenty of fun places to play indoors! Invite a friend or two and let the kids play while spending time with their parents … adults need play dates, too!

Make an Obstacle Course

Move your furniture around and make an obstacle course with hula hoops, pillows and more! Get creative! See how quickly your child can make it through the course, then see if they then can beat their time! 

Move with Video Games

Turn on the TV or use your computer to play kid-friendly videos to get kids moving. Here are a few that many teachers use:
