Summertime in Oklahoma usually means blazing heat and high temperatures, which is ideal if you are by a pool! However, sometimes you want to spend the day inside with the air conditioner on full blast. Spending too much time in the sun can be harmful and leave you feeling tired.
We want you and your family to enjoy spending time inside just as much as you enjoy being outside, so we have assembled a list of fun indoor activities that your whole family will love!
Most indoor activities consist of screen time, so we have compiled a list of some indoor activities that are screenless, easy, fun for the whole family, and include household items that you probably already own. Don’t fret- Fit City has a few fun indoor activities up our sleeve to keep your whole family entertained this summer.
