In Winnipeg, we are not strangers to cold weather, but this week is going to be EXTRA cold, so here are a few activities to try when it is just way too cold to play outside!🥶
🛝Obstacle Course: building an obstacle course is a fun way to promote many different skills and is even more fun when your child gets to build it themselves. You can use anything you have at home: couch cushions, stools, pillows, even tape between walls for them to duck under or jump over!
🧘🏼♀️Yoga: this can be a great way to stretch and work on balance in a fun way!
🐻Animal Walks: these are a great way to promote coordination, strength, and balance! Think crab walks, bear crawl, frog hops, etc.!
🤸🏻♀️Movement Breaks: these can be a helpful way to break up a cold day. Using movements such as jumping jacks, high knees, lunges, or crunches can be a good way to keep active in a small space!
🔵Twister: an oldie but a goodie. This classic game is a great way to have fun while staying active, and if you don’t own it, you can make it with coloured papers or paper plates!
💃🏼Dance Party: no skills required! Put on some music and have a dance party to stay active and practice your best moves!
Stay warm this week everybody!❄️
