WAY TO PLAY
NFL Thrive believes that every family member can benefit from playing outside and enjoying the fresh air.
There are many different ways to get outside and play. Activities like outdoor sports, walking,
hiking, biking, playing on playgrounds, and more can help kids stay
active, healthy, and grow stronger mentally and emotionally.
Build confidence, creativity, and imagination
With so many ways to play, time outdoors can result in a more unstructured style of fun.
Let your kids interact with nature, explore, and decide which activities interest them the most.
From playing a game of tag or a game of catch to making sandcastles and swimming at the beach,
there are many ways to play that can feel exciting for the whole family
and help everyone stay healthy and happy.
NFL Thrive is sponsoring National Play Outside Day
National Play Outside Day is the best way to get outside and play,
and happens on the first Saturday of every month.
The purpose is to create a habit of outdoor fun and activities for families,
including kids, adults, parents, and grandparents alike.
No matter your age or stage of life, everyone can benefit from a little more outdoor play!
Reduce stress and increase happiness.
Studies show that spending time outside and getting enough sunlight can help
boost your mood and feelings of happiness.
At the same time, when you spend time outdoors,
it’s easier to unplug and let your mind slow down and relax.
Both kids and adults can benefit from time away from the distractions of the digital world.
Let’s get outside and touch some grass!
