Kids don't need a gymnasium to get exercise on a cold winter's day. This version of volleyball can be played indoors without risk to lamp or limb.
1. To play, first tie a piece of yarn or string across a 10-foot playing area, about 1 foot above the floor. Divide the players into 2 teams and have them set up crab style (faceup, leaning on their hands and feet) in their stocking feet on each side of the string.
Sure, you'll get dizzy. That's the point - and it's free.
But not all at once. Set a goal with your kids to run a full 26.2 miles over the course of a year, and pioneered by the non-profit group Marathon Kids. To help your little Flo Jo finish, track her progress from zero to marathoner on a chart. Before the last leg, fashion a finish line in the driveway. This is a great way to teach your kids the importance of health and exercise.
