Home sports
Cleaning is a great way to do physical activity at home. There are people who love cleaning. They have their own ways of placing things on shelves or polishing tiles in the bathroom. Maybe your child also likes to have their things in a specific order? Or, when they’re dusting, they create a dance routine? Sometimes small everyday activities are the ones you can express yourself with. Play charades with ordinary chores. You can hum, make various gestures, role-play. It is important that you present the activity in a way that suggests that you really enjoy performing it. You might also create your own home sport disciplines. What can individual household members become masters of? What could be your unique team sport?
Strengths of sport
Sport is also a good starting point for discussing the strengths and uniqueness of each of us. And cooperation! Do you do any sport? Perhaps you’re an avid supporter of a certain team or you watch some athlete’s achievements with bated breath? Even if not, your child or other member of your family might love sport.
Talk about athletes and teams you know. What skills are necessary to practise a given discipline? Does everyone have the same predispositions and skills? When talking to the youngest members of the household, you may point out that each of us has skills in a particular field. These may be artistic abilities, achievements in sport or science. Each of us has certain predispositions which make us unique. If we told someone who does boxing to do ski jumping, it would be practically impossible, because jumpers have to be lightweight. Similarly, if we had a ski jumper play basketball or box, it would be difficult for him to shoot hoops or beat a player who plays this sport.
