Activities for High Energy Kids

Kids benefit physically and mentally from exercise, just like adults do. The key is to get them engaged in fun activities that they'll look forward to (they don't have to know it's good for them)!

In addition to improved coordination and cooperation, don't be surprised if your kids seem more calm and focused after engaging in high-energy activities like these:

  • Obstacles R US - kids race through age-appropriate courses
  • Kids in Motion - lots of heart-healthy movement for all ages
  • X Games - kids' favorites games, from crab soccer to noodle hockey...with a twist!
