Keeping Your Kids Active While Staying At Home
With the globe reeling under the pandemic crisis
and restricting all our daily routine spaces like
offices, market places, restaurants, parks, gyms,
swimming pools, sports arenas, stadiums and
theaters. Moreover, all our outdoor activities
have also come to a screeching halt. The people
have been forcefully pinned to the couch or
imprisoned inside four walls of their houses. The
most affected are the kids with no friends around
and no sports complexes open, they have been
glued to the sofa, TV, laptops and mobile. This
is such a tough situation even for the parents to
tackle as they dont have an excuse to get the
kids off the sofa and become active again. They
cant ask or force them to shut down their mobiles
or laptops and go out to play. This has become a
great problem not only for the parents but also
for the kids. They are becoming more obese, too
much screen time and even after that boredom from
doing the same thing over and over again. Getting
the kids out of this state and making them do
something activity in the restricted spaces and
environment is a challenge in itself. It's a
challenge but not impossible and a few ideas that
could be picked up from some creative parents
could prove even a good activity and mood changer
for the adults too.

Spending time and giving them fun activities to
be performed at home can give them good physical
movement and the required amount of activity to
protect them from the health hazards of being
attached to their digital platforms. Every child
needs to move and keep moving to keep up not only
his sleep time but also for the development of
his cognitive abilities and his overall attitude
towards life.

Preschool kids need at least 180 minutes of
physical activity in a day to remain mentally and
physically healthy. Kids between the age of 5-17
need about 60 minutes of mild to moderate
exercise a day.  Keeping the kids involved
active and energetic is the added responsibility
of the parents as the kids are under their
supervision 24X7 with the lack of school, friends
and other sporting activities. Below are some
interesting activities that can be done with kids
to keep them bustling and burning the required
calories in a day.

• Freeze dance is a simple activity where kids who
  like to dance can dance to a tune and freeze when
  the DJ stops the music and the one who could not
  spot being penalized with some other activity or
  the one who freezes correctly being rewarded.
• Learn new dance moves from Youtube, with Youtube
  providing step by step version or DIY (DO IT
  YOURSELF) version of every activity you like.
  This way the child gets their screen time along
  with physical movement.

• Volleyball with the balloon and with yarn tied
  from chair to chair as the net can be another
  easy and fun game in restricted spaces and spaces
  with fragile objects around. Kicking and heading
  the balloon should be allowed to make it more
  fun. 
• Make story-time reading a game, by doing an
  activity for a repeated word that comes in the
  book. Doing 5 jumping jacks for each good (as a
  word) that appears in the book while reading,
  can be a fun activity.
• Hallway soccer or broomstick hockey with a goal
  made from masking tape on the floor and plastic
  balls as a soccer ball and broomsticks and a
  tennis ball for hockey.
