It can be hard to be a kid and not be able to go outside. Usually when it starts to rain everyone goes inside, but maybe the rain isn't so bad. Can you think of ways that kids in Ireland can exercise and have fun even when the sun's not out? Being active makes you so much healthier and it is much better for kids to be able to exercise and play as much as possible.
My roommate's younger sister, Aoife, told me that it is often very rainy and kids just go inside and play video games or watch TV. That isn't very healthy and she wishes that there was a way to still have fun even when it's raining. Her mother, however, is worried that she'll get sick if she spends time outside while it's raining but in Ireland, the rain doesn't come down very heavily so usually, only her rain jacket gets wet and she stays warm underneath. Despite her ability to stay out in the rain, she finds there's nothing interesting to do while it rains so she sits on the couch. Can you help?
In Ireland, it rains often and kids all hide indoors when it does. Adults still work and go about their business but kids are encouraged to stay inside. This is hard when all they want to do is play games and be outside since they spend so much time inside for school.
