No School On the Weekends-Family Play Time

Finally, the last Teaching Your Children Joy activity focusing on the body and it's a fun one!

Family Play Time and Recreation

Come up with a way for everyone in your family to have input and initiative on family activities.

Maybe it's slips of paper in a jar.

Or a poster on the wall.

Or dry-erase markers on the refrigerator.

Or a rotating schedule every Monday evening.

Whatever it is, make sure everybody's involved and no idea is too outrageous.

Have fun together, run around together, lose your breath, and laugh together.

Now tell me, how are you going to start doing this today?
