Beth in Central TX Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 We have a punching bag out in our shed. It works wonders to help get out any pent-up aggression on those days when the weather won't permit them to run, yell, & just be wild.

whybenormal Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 We also have to stay indoors for most of our active time. My boys like the scooter boards. Some other things we've done: I set up obstacle courses for them and time them with a stopwatch. We play "volleyball" with balloons. I bought some stilt like things from Rainbow resource. They look like animal feet with claws. The kids put their feet on the stilt part and hang onto a cord that is attached and try to walk around. I also bought some little books from RR called "Beyond the Gym." We have fun doing the challenges in these once in a while. These books focus on motor skills, etc. We have a mini-trampoline that is good for getting their heart rates up. We dance. There are other things, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Blue Hen Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 We go roller skating once a month with our hs group. My DSs' are joining a speed skating team, roller, and it will be every Sunday. It's for kids ages 4 - 94. Our group also does ice skating, and bowling, each at least once/month. It is a nice change of pace. My youngest is on a hs swim team (no meets though, just practices) and they swim 2x daily. We also have dogs that need to be walked 2x daily.

Narrow Gate Academy Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 We do roller skates in our basement and sometimes indoor soccer. I second the idea for balloon volleyball or just time them and see how long the can keep a certain number in the air. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testimony Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 We try to sign up for the town sports. However, I allowed my younger son to try out for travelling soccer. He got in. So, he is doing big time PE. My older son, he needs the help. He must run up and down the stairs for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2abcd Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Here is a link to what we have... http://www.trampolineusa.com/6trtotma.html Our boys really like it! KIN, Do they have to go one at a time? Can they sit and stand bounce? Any other tricks? We have an outdoor trampoline, but may have to move to a place where we can't have one. Our kids LOVE our trampoline so I'm curious how this 14" from the ground one compares. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMarie Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 A basketball goal! My kids love theirs and even one can enjoy it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
