Fun and Thrifty Family Activities

It’s a fact that families that participate in physical activities together form a stronger family bond. Getting physical exercise as a family can help to get everyone in better health and prevent child obesity.

Taking part in other activities that exercise the mind is also a wonderful way for families to bond. But it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg! Check out these fun and thrifty family activities, and choose one or more to take part in this weekend!
