Reignite the sense of fun with childhood activities to rid yourself from the worries of ‘rote routines, fixed rate mortgages and lawn care that fuel stress, narrow-mindedness and rigidity’. (Ladies’ Home Journal, November 2007). Ironkid activities are aimed at motivating the family to lead an active, positive and healthy lifestyle.
Playing like child will leave your feeling as carefree as kids again. Songs like Duck Duck Goose, Mary Had A Little Lamb, and Twinkle Twinkle Stars have been translated in as many languages as there are countries in the world. The highest earning singing group from Australia is not Air Supply or Jimmy Barnes, but The Wiggles. Larry King reportedly said that when he interviewed the late Steve Irwin in his show, he became an instant hero to his kids. Steve stole the hearts of many children, around the world with his carefree spirited ways with animals, a trait that is fuel the lives and creativity in all of us.

Among activities to choose from in an Ironkids contest are:
running races(down the driveway, around the block – you need to make there are no moving cars on the driveway.), crawling races (on soft grass), distance throwing of a softball or football, distance kicking of a soccer ball, a running and a standing-still long jump, cook the dinner, pick up the toys, and wash the dirty pans.
When the race is over, the winner gets to choose the next set of Ironkids activities. In whatever circumstances or environment you choose to play these games, be extra careful in areas such as driveway and kitchen.
