Have fun with this 30-day family physical literacy challenge - Active For Life

Humans must develop and maintain relationships as this can help them sustain their physical and psychological well-being. However, in this digital era, where most people depend on the digital world for much of their activities, people are too devoted to their smartphones and other electronic devices that they often forget to interact and communicate with others.

Therefore, to initiate relationships with other people, families and friends plan social events during special occasions and holidays. These social gatherings provide people incentive to spend time with their loved ones offline.

Accordingly, social events planned by people often have entertainment activities with them. These often include games that provide healthy competitions between players and the audience and allow people to engage in conversations. Good old-fashioned games, such as pool, table tennis, shuffleboard, foosball, and cornhole, encourage people to unplug from the digital world and interact with their families and friends.

Companies like R&R Outdoors offer high-quality all weather billiards and other game tables that are beautiful enough to enhance the indoor entertainment area and indeed durable enough to withstand the outdoor weather elements like wind, rain, and snow.

Outdoor game tables, such as outdoor shuffleboard table and outdoor pool table, are timeless and fun for any age. These engaging games can inspire people to turn their phones off, get their game on, and socialize with their families and friends offline.

Moreover, besides the social benefits outdoor game tables provide, these game tables also offer players physical and intellectual gains. Although playing game tables are not as strenuous as playing actual sports like basketball, football, and hockey, game tables can still help people get physical exercise, allowing them to burn calories and tone their build and muscle.

Playing game tables also challenge, strengthen, and enhance players’ mental abilities. These games also improve people’s cognitive skills, reflexes, hand-eye coordination, and build focus and control.

In addition to the physical and mental exercise, outdoor game tables also allow people to enjoy the fresh air, sunshine, and natural environment outside, which can help them lessen the stress and anxiety they might be feeling.
