Movement: Indoor Obstacle Course for Wednesday April 1, 2020


Indoor Obstacle Course

Version 1

Gather supplies to make the obstacles.
(like empty paper towel rolls, a kitchen spoon,
pillows, chairs, toys, scarf, book, etc.).

Map out some space for your course.
(things to hop over, crawl underneath, pick up along the way)

Place a piece of tape, or a piece of yarn,
at the “starting line" and then...

READY? STEADY? GO!  





Version 2

You can just use some tape on the ground
to make different patterns to walk, run, or hop.





Version 3

Make a web with streamers, tape, yarn, or string and go from one side to the other without touching anything!




Challenge Round:
Set a timer. Can beat your time?

Pick a challenge, like balancing a book on your head, to move from one part of the course to the next.

Set up some bigger physical obstacles
(drape a sheet between two chairs to crawl under
or limbo under; pile pillows to “mountain climb” over)

Try some fun ways to get from obstacle to obstacle
(crab walk, bear walk, slither like a snake, walk backwards,
walk sideways, dance, walk with eyes closed)



Watch these two sisters as they set up
and complete their own obstacle course!
