This particular WFMW is something I plan to do this summer. However, I think it's going to be great. I've already talked to the kiddos about it and they are on board so I'm half way there, right?
I am planning to buy inexpensive pedometers for Max, Wild Thing, and myself this summer. We will keep track of our steps and graph them as the summer progresses. If we are really into it, we may keep track through Christmas and see whether the number of steps increases or decreases according to seasons. I tend to get ahead of myself though...
My hope is that wearing the pedometers and keeping track of our steps will encourage Max and Wild Thing to play outside and run more instead of plop in front of the TV and video games. Of course, with the graphing and comparing I can also count it as a math lesson.
