Everyone wants to live in a neighborhood where there’s a wealth of things to do, especially during the holidays. In the spirit of the Christmas, here are a few way to keep active over the break. You don’t have to go far to stay active in Lakes of Bella Terra – especially when you get creative. So we’ve made our list and checked it twice… and here are our favorite neighborhood Christmas activities for everyone in the family.

For the kids: Reindeer Scavenger Hunt on the Nature Trails

This one is perfect for a house full of kids. With the reindeer scavenger hunt game, all you have to do is print the reindeer, cut out, and hide around the yard or for even more of a challenge, hide amongst the nature trails in Lakes of Bella Terra. Be sure to record where you have placed all of the reindeer, in case anyone has a tough time finding them.

For the teens: Costumed Tennis Match

The tennis courts can easily transform in to a battle ground for single or double matches. Picture this: Santa Claus versus Mrs.Claud, Rudolph versus Elf, Scrooge versus the Grinch. There’s nothing like some after-dinner family rivalry with a festive game. At dusk, our courts are illuminated so your family isn't limited to daylight hours for enjoying a little tennis.

For the little ones: Build a Snowman at the Volleyball Court

Who says a snowman can only be made from snow? You can use sand from the community volleyball court and a little bit of water to mold a few big “Texas Snowballs.” This is a moniker for “snowballs” of wet sand, which you can roll with your hands until they are packed tightly and spherical. Don’t forget to bring the coals for eyes, a carrot nose, a corncob pipe, a stovepipe hat, and any other accessories in which you’d like to dress your snowman.

For the adults: 12 Days of Christmas Workout

Head to the fitness center to get your work-out to burn off some of those extra holiday calories. This is the perfect time to challenge yourself to 12 days Christmas workouts. We’ve got all the equipment you need from treadmills, free and standing weights and more. Be sure to get the whole family involved in your FIT-MAS workouts.
