This Saturday, September 29th is the 16th annual Family Health and Fitness Day. Take advantage of a chance to spend time with the family, and demonstrate the importance of fitness to them by hosting a mini backyard Olympics. Every child has a strength, find specific events that each child will excel in and provide prizes or medals at the end.
Below are several event ideas...
- Highest jumper or farthest jumper
- Fastest sprinter
- egg toss or water balloon toss
- cartwheel contest
- handstand contest
- farthest baseball throw
- Bowling with empty soda liter bottles
- Swimming contest or treading water contest
Make it a neighborhood event and create team games, utilizing your local park field for baseball, kickball, softball or football!
