AfL Mini-Games: How your kids can speed skate at home

If you have hardwood or linoleum floors, your kids can wear wool socks and “glide” around the floor as though they are skating. They can “race” in place without even moving forward. Challenge your kids to extend their stride, swing their arms, and keep their balance.

Train their brains

Help kids train their brains for the strategic part of speed skating by playing games that develop another important muscle, their brains! Many board games help children develop sportsmanship and resilience, which are two key ingredients of a great athlete.
