When the kids are off school for their summer holidays it can be hard finding quality time to spend with them, it can be a struggle just keeping their attention, let alone finding a fun and healthy activity to do together.

Most children enjoy days out at the park and if left to their own devices would spend hours and hours every day playing and running around burning off all that extra energy. If you do give in an take time out to run around the park with them this can be extremely time consuming and cut into daily chores and such, on the other hand if you don’t give in they will most likely spend the day watching TV or playing computer games.

The solution to the problem is Swingball. Swingball is a game with a pole in the middle and you hit a ball which is attached to the pole with string, the idea is two people play and you hit it back and forth, when one person misses the string climbs higher or lower to either end, once the string reaches the end a player wins! The best thing about swingball is it can be played solo or with two players, this is a great way to get the kids active and off the computer. There are three different sets available for swingball based on age and skill so as your children grow older and get better at the game they can progress on to the pro swingball sets and still enjoy the game every one loves!
