Favorite morning physical activities

6 Replies

We continue to try to move from screen-based soothing to more physical stuff. The transition from home to school is definitely another tough time of day. What are your favorite morning routines for physical activity? We bought a hand-hockey gamem(Noc Hockey) and are considering buying a punching bag or some other tumble based play for the morning. We're not getting rid of videos entirely, but just something for him to burn a little fire before school.

My kids have a Razor trike that they ride around the garage in the morning after their dad leaves for work, but before they leave. They seem to really enjoy this energy burn just before they get on the bus they ride for an hour in the mornings.

We live close enough for a 20 minute walk to school.

My son and I throw and kick a football or soccer ball for 10 minutes before school. both of our moods improve measurably even with this short time. We tend to throw and kick hard and get some running in!
