Winter games for families: exercise and fun in Mitte!
The cold season is approaching and with it a wide range of winter play and exercise activities for families with small children in Berlin. From October, a program will begin in nine locations in the Mitte district that will enable parents and their children to take part in sporting activities. This initiative, which is led by the District Councilor for Youth, Family and Health, Christoph Keller, is part of the “Healthy Berlin-Mitte District” program and is based on the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO). reported.
The offers run from October to the end of March and offer parents and children the opportunity to take part in one or two sessions per week. Expert instructions for various movement games are intended not only to promote children's motor skills, but also to strengthen family bonds. While the children are active, parents have the opportunity to chat in the warmth or become active themselves.
Winter playgrounds for everyone
In addition to the special offers in the Mitte district, there are popular winter playgrounds in the city, which are often run by church institutions. These places are particularly attractive to parents and children who are looking for a space to play and meet when the weather is bad. The term “winter playground” is protected to prevent commercial misuse. The Berlin City Mission, which set up the first winter playground in Kreuzberg in 1994, holds the rights to this concept explained.
The existing winter playgrounds in different districts such as Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Pankow or Neukölln are usually open from October to Easter. Every week, around 50 to 100 people visit the winter playground in Kreuzberg, which, although half the size of before, continues to play a central role for the community. This offers parents the opportunity to get in touch with other families and exchange ideas while the children play in a safe environment.
