The Importance Of Outdoor Play On Child Development
September 27, 2016There are increasing studies to show that children are spending more time than ever in front of screens, and less and less time outside.
These studies also often demonstrate the vital importance of outdoor play on child development, and the benefits of getting outside on physical and mental health.
We have a great range of activities to entice you and the children outside at Trabolgan Holiday Village, and we know you’ll all feel the benefits of the autumnal air, but if you need a bit of extra inspiration to get the kids out and about, take a look at our suggestions.
Inspiring Ways To Get The Children Outside
- Take a walk. Whether you’re exploring your local area or discovering the grounds at Trabolgan, a walk is a great way to get some fresh air and exercise at the same time. If you have a dog, this is a great incentive to get out together as a family, but if not, you may need to encourage the children a little with an impromptu scavenger hunt or a game of I-spy along the way.
- Play sports. There are many outdoor pursuits that will get the children enthusiastic about spending time outside. From adventure sports such as climbing and kayaking, to competitive sports like tennis and football, playing together will offer a great opportunity to bond and get your bodies moving at the same time.
- Family holidays. We have a huge range of sports and activities at Trabolgan Holiday Village, and a weekend family break in Ireland is a great time to try something new together. Our crazy golf course has just been refurbished and is a great way to get some healthy competition going while you spend time together.
- A photography competition. Grab your cameras and discover the natural world around you by challenging each other to take some great snaps. You can create funny scenes together or simply see who can take the most beautiful landscape shot each day.
- Take a mystery tour. Spending time outdoors with the children is a great way to bring your family closer, and one thing that can really help is to vary your routine and let the kids lead for a while. Starting with the youngest, take turns to lead the rest of the family on a mystery tour and you may end up discovering something new!
