Welcome to Week 11!

We challenge each family to get outside, step away from screens, beat the gloom of the winter weather, and stay committed to keeping ourselves active and connected with each other and the great outdoors.

Conversation Topic

Animal Superpowers Figure out which animal your family members are most like and why. Who is like a sneaky, quick fox? A cuddly panda bear?  If you could have a superpower of one animal, what would it be? Would you fly like an eagle? Travel underwater in deepest part of the ocean like a whale? Share with us which animal superpower you'd choose!

Walk Suggestions

Search for Animals! Keep your eyes peeled for squirrels, cats, dogs and birds! Before you leave for your walk, each person take guesses how many you will see. Who wins each category? Can you name which type they are when you see them?  Share with us which kind of animal you saw the most of today! Search for Insects! Keep your eyes peeled for worms, bees, lady bugs, spiders, butterflies and ants. Before you leave for your walk, each person take guesses how many you will see. Who wins each category?Are there many out or hardly any? Do you notice a pattern with bugs and the weather? When do you remember seeing the most insects when you were outside?  Share with us about your insect findings on your walk today!

Fun Activity

Act like an animal! Play this version funny version of follow the leader, as you hop like a frog, waddle like a penguin, slither like a snake, and kick like a donkey! Share your funniest animal move with everyone!
