Make a Snowman

This first suggestion isn’t entirely authentic, but it truly wouldn’t be a winter season without one. If you’re worried about your children turning into couch potatoes and tablet addicts during their long breaks from school, building a snowman is the perfect way to get them moving.

After all, the rolling, molding, and placement of body parts are what makes building a snowman a fantastic workout session. And be sure to gather some clothing items so that your children can get creative with their Frosty creation.

Play on the Playground

If you’ve taken the correct steps to preserve your playset for the winter, you can still use it as the perfect play location. In fact, one might even argue that playgrounds can be even more fun covered in snow!

Just be sure to dress your children in the proper gear from head to toe. They’ll be able to enjoy their playset for a couple more weeks before the temperature gets way too cold. If you don’t own a playground, a trip to your local park will be just as fun.

Snowball Fights

While you typically don’t allow your children to throw things at each other, the winter season calls for a little bit of leniency on that front. To get their heartbeats up, encourage your children to have some fun with a snowball fight. Whether they’re launching snowballs at trees or one another, a snowball fight is a great way to create winter memories.

Explore Winter Sports

The last winter activity isn’t necessarily one for the backyard, but if your home is near a pond or on a hill, then you can definitely take advantage of them. If not, your community probably has a location where your children can explore fun winter sports. Enjoy activities such as snowboarding or sledding. Ice skating and playing ice hockey are both excellent forms of cardio as well.

Whichever activities you choose, you can feel good about them because you’re encouraging your children to stay active. Don’t let the season get their spirits down; instead, embrace the icy weather with these four fun backyard activities to keep your kids active during winter.
