3 active ways to have fun with the fam

Just ‘cause your stuck hangin’ with the family this holiday weekend doesn’t mean you have to hide out in your room or risk being bored to tears. It’s time to bundle up, grab the fam and hit the great outdoors. Or, you know, the living room works, too.

 

Go for a walk

Feeling cooped up? Invite your relatives out for a walk. Even grandmom and gramps could probably handle a brief stroll around your neighborhood. You can show them the sites, ask them to referee races with you, your sibs and your cousins, and all around enjoy the fresh air. Deliver goodies to neighbors, go caroling—whatever your heart desires.

 

Play flag football

An old-school game like touch football, soccer, badminton or volleyball will get everyone off the couch and moving around. Pit your ‘rents against the younger generation, or opt for a guys vs. girls showdown.

 

Do the twist

Ask the olds to teach you how to dance! Grab your dad, your bro, your uncle, your BGF, your bestie—whomever!—and get your boogie on. Grandparents will love that they can actually help you learn a useful skill and hey, learning to dance properly really will come in handy one of these days.
