Obstacle Course

I got this idea from a website called education.com the more I look in to this website the more I love it:)

For an Indoor Obstacle Course:

Bunny hop (hop forward with feet together) five times.

Crawl through a tunnel. (You can create a tunnel by placing a sheet over some chairs placed across from each other.)

Walk over several pillows or sofa cushions that are on the floor with space in between. (Your child will have to use balance to walk over this soft surface.)

Climb over an ottoman or footrest.

Use a large cooking spoon to transfer 3-5 blocks (or other small toys) one at a time into a bucket or container placed several feel away. (This is a great way to work on that coordination!)

Do five jumping jacks.

Side-step five times.

Toss 3-5 soft balls or stuffed animals into a laundry basket several feet away.

“Walk the tightrope!” (Place a jump rope or measuring tape on the floor and have your child walk across it, heel to toe.)

Bunny hop five more times to the finish line!

For an Outdoor Obstacle Course: If you’re lucky enough to get a warm day, you can move the indoor course outside, or use the following suggestions. Got a swing set or jungle gym? Add that into the mix as well! Here’s how:

Bunny-hop five times.

Go up the ladder and down the slide.

Swing on the swing as you count to ten.

Jump over a set of sticks or branches.

Use a cooking spoon to transfer rocks to a bucket.

Jump up and down five times.

Toss balls into a container.

"Walk the tightrope."

Run back to the starting line.
