Play Together

One of the simplest ways to do this is to find some time where you can play sports together. This can be as simple as throwing a ball in the backyard, or it can mean that you all go and play some baseball or basketball together at a local court. What matters is that you are doing it together as a family activity, and that everyone is enjoying themselves as much as possible. You might want to ask your family what sport they would prefer to play, and then consider making a weekly thing out of it.

Combine It With Other Activities

Sport doesn’t actually have to be a thing all on its own, and in fact sometimes combining it with other activities can help to make it much more enjoyable. So if you already have some family activities that you enjoy doing, you are going to find that combining them can be really surprisingly powerful. A good example is religion, if that’s something your family practices. Something like watching football movies for Christians can be a way of integrating it all, for instance. However you do it, this can help to cement sport in your family life so much more powerfully.

Get Them To Join A Club

There are probably lots of local sports clubs in your area that you can consider signing your kids up for, so this is something that you might want to think about if you are keen on making sport a major part of their lives. Of course, it’s best to find out what sport they prefer to play or have an interest in trying, and then you can simply look for a club in that sport. This can be quite an easy thing to do to ensure that sport is a much bigger part of your kids’ lives.

Talk About It

Sometimes all you really need to do is to talk about sport to make it more of a thing in your kids’ lives. This is certainly worth considering if you want to make sure that you are effectively including sport in their daily lives. So start talking about it, and see what reaction you get – but don’t go thinking that this means you should be forcing it on them. This is not the approach to take, and it’s something that you should certainly be wary of as it will only have the opposite effect.
