Make Activity Fun

Even though children often have lots of energy and stamina, patience is seldom a child's strong suit. Children get the most benefit from physical activity when adults help them discover the fun of it. Physical activities for children should change frequently enough that children won't find them boring. Having a set of different games to play so that you can switch between them regularly can help with this. If taking children on a walk or bicycle ride, vary the route and choose a fun destination to give the kids something to look forward to.
