5 Family Activities To Fuel Your 2021 Resolutions
Need a little spark right now to transform your family's resolutions into habits this year? We've got you covered, with fun activities for everyone in your house.
It happens every year: we promise ourselves we'll follow through on our New Year's resolutions and, poof, mid-January hits and you're still in a stand-off with that increasingly dusty exercise bike in your basement.
Sound familiar? At least you’re not alone. So why not create a spark to ignite your goals for 2021 by spending more time with your family?
From the sporty to the creative, here’s our selection of Backyard Camp activities to inspire you and your kids to turn your resolutions into habits this year.
This Week’s Activities:
For The Active Family:
1) Recyclable Bowling
An easy DIY activity - milk carton bowling. Use empty milk cartons or empty plastic bottles as the "pins", a basketball or soccer ball and away you go! It’ll also help develop your kids’ arms and torso coordination and fine motor control.
2) Freeze Dance
Who doesn’t like a good dance party? Shaking it off with a few favourite jams is a surefire way to get your kids off the couch and have some laughs.
3) Wheelbarrow Puzzle Walk
One of our all-time favourite activities here at Backyard Camp Central that combines physical and mental exercise with peels of laughter.
For Creative Kids (and kids at heart): Photo-Booth Phrenzy
Grab your mobile phone or dedicated camera and get creative! Make real-life filters, re-create your pictures from old family vacations and grab props from around the house. The funnier the better.
For The Culinary-Inclined: Fruit Squares!
Combine oatmeal, apple sauce or berries into a delicious, nutritious snack that you and your kids will love.
