Are you missing outdoor spring activities with friends as much as we are?
I mean, let’s be honest. You like soccer, softball, lacrosse, and baseball…but what you really LOVE is the way those activities give your child an outlet for their wiggles, jiggles, and giggles.
Now that sports are on hold, and the neighborhood playground is closed, it’s tough to find worthwhile activities for your always-on-the-go child. What can you do to channel that endless energy?
Thanks to some fantastic folks who love kids and want to see them happy, healthy, and active, we’re thrilled to share five resources we think you and your kids will love.
So lace up those sneakers, grab a water bottle (or another cup of coffee…wink), and get moving today!

2. Cosmic Kids
Harry Potter, Moana, Frozen, and Star Wars….YOGA? Why, yes — of course!
Encourage your children to join more than a million others in yoga, mindfulness, and relaxation activities with instructor-extraordinaire Jaime from Cosmic Kids. Jaime brilliantly weaves yoga with popular stories kids love to encourage self-regulation, focus, and empathy.
Easily choose an episode based on time (under 10 minutes, under 15 minutes, over 15 minutes), energy (calm, focus, or active), or category (stories, mindfulness, yoga, relaxation, or dance). With hundreds to choose from, your child will beg to start his day this way — and you may just get a few more minutes all to yourself.

3. Fluency and Fitness
In between seat-time subjects, give your child a brain break with Fluency and Fitness.
Helping students exercise their brains and bodies during short breaks, each video reviews a reading or math skill and includes a variety of coordinating body movements. Choose from over nine-hundred videos! During school closures, Fluency and Fitness is offering our subscription website at a deep discount for parents to use at home.

5. Get Moving Together
You’re home from work, and your child is home school. Instead of twiddling your thumbs or forgoing exercise altogether, get moving — together!
There are plenty of YouTube videos and online articles filled with family-friendly workouts, or you can invite your child to join your workout using light weights or water bottles. It doesn’t have to be complicated — whatever you’re doing to stay fit, let your child join in.

Take advantage of these amazing resources, and others from ClassTag, to survive — and thrive these weeks of staying home.
