You never know, you might be raising a long-jump champion. So get some practice in with this fun activity.
  • Chalk
  • Sidewalk
  • Tape measure
  • Sneakers
  • 1
    Using your chalk, you or your kid should draw a 10-foot line on the sidewalk.
  • 2
    Break the line into 1-foot increments and label them 1 through 10.
  • 3
    Give your child challenges. "Hop to number 2. Take a step to number 4. Jump back to number 3." Make up your own challenges.
  • 4
    You and your kid should take turns being the Hopper and the Caller. Work off those fries you had for lunch.
  • 5
    If your child can reach the 10-foot mark in a single leap, notify the Olympics track and field coach, pronto.
