Take a walk around your neighbourhood to find: something that flies, something that needs water to survive, something you can eat if you are an animal, something that can lift something else up, something made of metal, something made of wood, 5 pieces of garbage.

Design and build a backyard obstacle course. Include at least 4 obstacles. Your course must be safe yet challenging. Share your obstacle course with your family. Use a stopwatch to calculate your personal best time. Be creative and have fun!

Walk down your street. How many windows do you see? How many cars do you see? Do you see more cars or windows? How many more? How did you track this information?

Go out with your family. Take a bike ride, scooter ride, go rollerblading or have family races.

Week-long Walking Challenge: Use Google Earth or Google Maps to chart a distance your family wants to walk over the course of the week. For example: Challenge your family to walk from here to Parksville. How long would that take? How many kilometers is the trip? If you go for a 30-minute walk how many kilometers will you cover? How many family members do you have that will contribute to this? How many days will it take for you to get there? Create a chart to track the distance walked by each family member each day to track when you have reached your goal.

This can be done indoors or outdoors. Do as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes: 15 Jumping Jacks, 15 High Knees, 15 Squats, 15 Butt Kicks.

Go on a neighbourhood walk. Find the following: Something that moves by itself, Something that moves because of something else, Something affected by wind, An example of human impact on the environment, Something affected by water, 5 pieces of garbage. Track your family walk.

Use found materials around your house to build a bridge between two objects. What materials do you have that are strong? Test your bridge. Are some shapes stronger than others? What difficulties did you encounter?

Go outside. Can you make a maze for a marble using only found items? Can that marble travel through that maze without human effort?

Go outside with your family. Time how fast each person can run a certain distance. Who ran the fastest? What was the time difference between first and second? Second and third? Run the distance a second time and try to beat your first score. Did you? By how much? Track your family walk.
