Winter Activities for the Family

Winter doesn’t mean that the family fun must be restricted to indoor activities. You can still enjoy outdoor activities and keep fit as a family. Here are some interesting ideas to try:

Tubing, sledding/coasting

Sliding downhill is fun for both adults and kids. You can set this up using toboggans, plastic snow disks, inner tubes or plastic bags. A local park or the neighborhood would be an ideal venue for this. However, you should dress appropriately in layers and wear thick boots.

Build snow forts/snowmen

You can plan a family snowman tournament to see who can create the best snowman. You can make it more interesting by creating other animals and not just snowmen.

Snowball fight

This game is always unplanned. It has just one rule: have fun. You can opt to create rules for the game to make it fun. Ensure that the kids don’t hide behind rocks. Players should not throw too hard or target faces. You can have fun while exercising as a family.

Skiing

Take your kids on a ski vacation to a resort. This option does not have to be expensive. You can plan to visit a local ski for one day. You can also opt to rent skis to really enjoy the experience. Some local parks set up a mini ski resort for people in the neighborhood.
