Need a way to entertain kids AND get them moving without having to break the bank with camps and classes? Try transforming traditional board games into fitness activities with a competitive twist! Pull out the board games you have always loved and have a family game night in a new way. Check out the first of these examples and then get creative and make your own.


Yahtzee: Play the board game the traditional way, but add a fitness twist. Use the score sheet as your workout guide, for example:

1's: Push ups for each 1 you record
2's: 2 Burpees for each 2 you record
3's: 3 Sit ups for each 3 you record
4's: 4 jumping jacks for each 4 you record
5's: 5 leg raises for each 5 you record
6's: 6 high jumps for each 6 you record

*For the more exciting rolls, make more exciting workouts!
Chance line: Do 6 star jumps or run to the front door and back
Yahtzee: You can pick someone else to do any of the other workouts listed
3 of a kind: Pick 2 other players to do one workout with you

4 of a kind: Do
4 jumping jacks x the number of your 4 of a kind (if you got 4 sixes, 4x6=24)
Full house: Run and touch the door of every room in your house as fast as possible
Small straight: 30 second plank
Large Straight: 1 minute plank


Get creative with your board game fitness. Do what works for you and what you have in your house. Tailor the workouts to your own family's level of fitness and ages. Have some board game fun!
