The 17 Big Ideas
#15 - Fitness and Sports
 
 
 
 
Note to Adults:
  Sports and physical fitness activities can be fun. Naturally, though, these activities do more than just provide fun. They can make family members healthier as well and bring families closer together. Learning new sports can help give a Tiger Cub more self-confidence and self-esteem. And if good sportsmanship and teamwork are emphasized, he will learn some important things that extend far beyond sports. More than anything else sports and other physical fitness activities can spell fun for the whole family.
 
 
  Activity Suggestions for Families:
   1. Go fishing as a family.
 
   2. Attend a high school, college, or professional sporting event.
 
   3. Go rollerskating as a family.
 
   4. Play a lawn game together--badminton, croquet, etc.--or come up with your own lawn game idea.
 
   5. Play some indoor games, ones that would be good for rainy days.
 
   6. Make up a game of your own and share it with the family or den.
 
   7. Start a family physical fitness program.
 
   8. Go bowling.
 
   9. Go swimming. Have fun and do it safely.
 
  10. Start a family height and weight chart.
 
  11. Go for a hike, a walk, or a jog together as a family.
