Make Family Playtime a Resolution at Monkey Joe’s!

Posted on Dec 23, 2016

Come play at Monkey Joe's!

There are a number of New Year's resolutions you can make with your kids in order to have a healthier, happier 2017. This year, make a resolution to keep your kids active in the new year by engaging with them in fun exercise and playtime. Make exercise family time!

Fun Playtime

If your kids are over age 6 they need at least an hour of activity each day. Make sure that hour of activity is moderate to vigorous (so playing is a great way to make that goal). Your resolution simply needs to keep them engaged in fun activities every day. Take them to the playground regularly, and if the weather doesn’t permit, bring them to Monkey Joe’s indoor playground. Our inflatable slides and obstacle courses make playtime fun and safe no matter what the weather is outside!

Make it Family Time

Finding fun ways to keep your kids active can be a good way to instill family time. Consider starting a weekly ‘family night’ where you all take turns picking a fun activity. You can all go for a hike, a trip to Monkey Joe’s, on a bike ride, or you can turn on the music and dance around the house! Exercising together can provide you with quality family time together and if you act as a role model for your kids when it comes to health and physical activity, your kids will develop that habit early.

Monkey Joe's is a great way to keep the kids active! Bring them to our indoor playground and let the kids wear themselves out bouncing for hours on our inflatables! Plan playdates with their friends for extra fun. Bringing their friends can help your kids strengthen their existing friendships. There are plenty of winter kids activities in NoVA!
