Seniors: You know how important it is to stay physically active. Let your grandkids help! The National Institute on Aging has suggestions for fun activities you can do together:
Infants and toddlers:
- Take them for walks in the stroller and rides on your bike. (Don’t forget your helmets!)
- Play games that get your bodies moving – “Wheels on the Bus,” “pretend we’re animals” and hide-and-seek.
- Sign up for baby yoga or exercise classes.
- Try baby-friendly swimming classes.
School-aged kids:

- Build a fort – indoors or out.
- Play catch, kickball, basketball or soccer.
- Go swimming or biking together.
- Play a video fitness game together and see who wins!
Teens and young adults:
- Participate in activities that interest them. Try hiking, skating or tennis.
- Go golfing or swimming. Invite them to join you in physical activities that require two people, such as tennis or table tennis.
- Ask them to help you in the garden or with heavy-duty household chores.
