Obstacle Course
Subcategories and tags
Practicing walking with different tempos: fast, slow, circular and demonstrating the ability to walk quickly while overcoming different hurdles without causing injury. Appreciating the sense of competition and learn to support one another.
Decide where the obstacle course will start and where it will end. Place a visible marker at both places. The course can be as short or as long as you want.
Between the start and finish line add signs with various obstacles or stages to complete before resuming the obstacle course. For example: throw a small ball in a hat, crawl under a blanket, do 10 jumping jacks, walk on a zig zag line, run on the spot, walk backwards, count to 10, jump like a frog, somersault on the ground, etc.
Make sure that the obstacles are safe and appropriate for your child.
You might like to make up a fun story about your course, e.g. you are making your way out of the jungle or climbing over a mountain or swimming over the waves, etc.
Take turns to complete the obstacle course.
