Sports-Fanatic Family: Bond Over a Game

If you think organizing a family game is a sure way for a parent to fail, fear not. Leisure activities, like sports games, can actually make stronger parents and more adaptable families.
Make it part of your every day
Family leisure research shows families’ ‘core’ leisure activities (those they do all the time, don’t cost much money and are a regular part of their routine) are related to family cohesion. The research says these regular every-day things facilitate emotional bonding toward one another. If you feel you are lacking in those everyday events, why not try a few easy games easily integrated into your family’s sport routine?

Whiffle ball
A super easy game to play as a family is a quick pick up game of whiffle ball. Grab the plastic bat and bag of balls and head to the back yard. Even a few minutes with the Whiffle ball before dinner every day can have everyone laughing and making memories.

Frisbee
