3 Fun New Year’s Goals for the Family

Posted on Dec 30, 2016

Think New Year’s resolutions sound like nothing but a lot of work? It’s time to rethink the way you do them. It’s not about counting vegetables or doing a certain number of jumping jacks. It’s about making positive changes that you (and the family) can stick with this year. And Monkey Joe’s Lexington wants to help!

3 New Year’s Resolutions for the Family

  • Budget. Want to teach your kids the value of a dollar? Give them a special “Monkey Joe’s allowance” and show them how to budget for snacks and fun prizes. Parents can also save on big fun at Monkey Joe’s Lexington with a Frequent Jumper Card, which gives you a discount on 10 admissions.
  • Bond. It’s important to set time aside for family. Studies show that spending more time together as a family helps kids develop emotionally, academically, and physically. It’s also a lot of fun! Encourage sibling bonding with a fun day bouncing around the inflatable playground at Monkey Joe’s Lexington. And make sure to snap a few pics for Facebook—you’ll want proof of your kids getting along!
  • Play. Do you want to instill healthy values in your kids? Experts recommend 30 minutes to 1 hour of physical activity for kids. But staying active doesn’t have to be boring. Instead of doing push ups or running laps, teach them that physical activity can be fun. We have a range of fun inflatables for them to bounce on, climb, jump from, and slide down. They’ll have so much fun they won’t even realize it’s good for them! Sounds like a parental win to us.
