Celebration
This week: Celebration
Congratulations!
You have finished a season of family.fit!
We hope you can see changes in your family. Perhaps you are healthier and fitter. Maybe you are more positive and more connected. Perhaps you have had a breakthrough as a family in forgiveness or communication, kindness or courage.
Let’s celebrate what God is doing!
If you can, get together with other families. Let’s combine fitness, faith, fun and food, and celebrate before we start the next season of family.fit
Celebration ideas
Meet together as a family. Look at these ideas and come up with a plan to celebrate finishing a season of family.fit.
Design the event to suit your current situation. If you’re in COVID lockdown, try and connect in creative ways.
Include these elements:
- Families in your neighborhood
- Fitness
- Fun
- Faith
- Food
Choose ideas from below to get started.
1. Other Families
Invite other families
Think of some other families you can get together with to celebrate. They could be people who have done family.fit or people who could start next season.
If you cannot come together face to face, then connect over Zoom® or Skype® or out your window.
Pray for them
Pray for the other families you invite. Invite someone isolated or elderly. They would love to be part of your family for the celebration.
Make invitations
Make the invitations fun. You could make a fun video message. You could draw and write an invitation card. You could set a challenge to the other family.
2. Fitness
Choose some fitness elements
Look over the past 12 weeks of fitness and pick three different challenges you can do with other families.

Make up a challenge
Each family who has done family.fit could make up a challenge to show the other families. Use at least two movements in the challenge.
Design a competition
Take one of the challenges and make it competitive. It could be children versus parents or male versus female. It could be family versus family. Think what would work best and be fun.
3. Fun
Decorations
Choose a venue for your celebration. It might be a park, your home or a hall. Now make it look fun and special. Be creative!
