What activities do your kids participate in?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
DD and I are considering her options for this year (she will be in Kinder)

She wants to do soccer for sure, and I am looking to see if there are any local theater/art programs...not finding a lot in our area =(

Swim and gymnastics seems to be what DD1 has settled on for now, she is 6.5. In the past we've done soccer, a couple years of dance, art classes (pottery was a hit though), and baseball. She is in the intermediate levels of gymnastics now so we go twice a week for that year around. This month she goes a 3rd day for open gym since her swim coach is out of town. She had been doing 2 days of swim as well, she is training for the swim team, but we won't keep that up once school starts this fall. She hasn't been in school before so too many activities were not an issue before. I'm thinking about one day a week for swim... we'll see how that works out.

I like the idea of one 'art' and one 'sport'. So, dd is going to do soccer and piano. (She'll get a lot of art at her school, or I'd consider that.)

Dd has enjoyed gymnastics, tap (ballet not so much), swimming and music.

For the upcoming school year:

DD - Dance (ballet and tap)
DS1 - soccer in the fall and then will do gymnastics
DS2 - gymnastics
DS3 - might do swimming or playgroup

Currently all three of the older ones are doing swimming lessons (for July only) and gymnastics.

Both of mine are in gymnastics once a week. DS is autism spectrum so he has therapy once a week as well. Right now both are in swim lessons during the summer too. During the school year, we also have one night a week where DS has religion class too. So 3 nights of stuff keeps us busy.

We're homeschooling, so we have more time for extras than we would if we were in school.

My oldest, 6 yo girl, does ice skating lessons 1x a week, soccer when in season, and girl scouts. She is interested in track, also, but we aren't doing that this summer. I'm hoping she will participate in a swim class later this year.

My 2nd, a 4 yo boy, tried ice skating and soccer, and wasn't really interested in either. Right now he isn't involved in any extra curriculars, but will be taking swim classes and gymnastics through a preschool program.
