Family Fitness Challenge

Have you heard of the Family Fitness Challenge from USA Today?  They have a different challenge every week for families to get out and get active! The Adventurous Child understands how important it is for children to get all of the physical activity that they need at home as well as on the preschool playground.

My favorite challenge so far was for week 6, Do a Scavenger Hunt!  This is something that can easily be done in the backyard or on your preschool playground.  In the backyard you have trees, sheds and doghouses to hide things behind and nests and gnomes to find!  On your preschool playground you have climbers, outdoor art easels and sand tables to hide things and xylophone mallets to find!  Children will enjoy running around with your help to be the first to find the items on their list.

Try it and let us know how your children enjoyed it!

We strive to create fun and informative content that will help young children learn and grow. However, it's important to keep in mind that all activities should be performed under the supervision of an adult. The Adventurous Child website is intended to serve as a reference and guidance for educational activities, and it is ultimately the responsibility of the parent, guardian, and/or educator to determine the appropriateness of the activity for their child’s age and maturity level. Thank you for your understanding and support!
