Records and activities that will get you outside for a fun summer day!

Did you know that National Play Outside Day is celebrated on the first Saturday of each month? 

With a ton of cool stuff being available inside (video games, TV, computers), it’s easy to get carried away and spend most of your time in the comfort of your home. 🏠

Distractions often keep us from spending any time at all outside in the fresh air, but that can be very unhealthy!

Playing outside is fun, creative, and a great way to spend some quality time with your friends, neighbours, or pet. 

And if this all wasn’t enough to convince you to put down your electronic devices…

What if you could attempt breaking a world record? 👀

Teach your pet new tricks

There is nothing better than spending a sunny day outside, playing with your pet in your home’s backyard or a nearby park!

With plenty of encouragement, treats and love, training your pet to do a trick is the perfect way to bond, spend quality time together…

…and, on occasion, even smash a record! 💪

For example, if you have a dog, you could teach him this fun jumping trick that gained little Daifuku a record title a few years ago – check it out here.

Another, more recently broken record, is for the most times to catch a flying disc (frisbee) over 10 m by a dog in three minutes.

Check out the video below and see if you and your four-legged friend can set a higher score.

Get Hula hooping

Another fun activity to do outside, alone or with a friend! ⭕

Hula hooping helps connect your brain and body, so it’s a fun way to improve coordination while strengthening your muscles.

There are tons of hula hooping record titles you can attempt – get inspired by the young Chennai Hoopers who broke 9 records in one day! 🤯

Some of their records include the most hula hoop rotations around the arm in one minute (220) and the most hula hoop rotations around the shoulders in 30 seconds (53).
