Activity: Obstacle Course
Materials Needed:
Balance beam
Playground ball
Tumbling mat
Tossing game
Safety cones
Large area for safe physical activity
Let’s Get Started:
1. Build an obstacle course in a safe play area. This could be on a lawn or in a large playroom where the children can move safely.
2. Make sure the obstacle course contains items that will help the child balance, bounce a ball, tumble (somersault or roll), toss items at a target, etc. Also make sure that the area is clearly marked so the child knows where to go next and keeps a safe distance from others participating.
3. Model how to complete each obstacle course activity.
4. Encourage the children to move through the obstacle course keeping a comfortable flow so that all children can participate continually.
