Active Kids Indoors - Obstacle Courses

This week's activity was a simple obstacle course. The kids loved racing through it, and Jenna had to dig out some medals from previous 5Ks we've done so I could award them to the "winners".


It started with a "balance beam" created by wrapping an old 2x4 in a towel.


Then they crawled through our Ikea tunnel and climbed through the "spiderweb". This was created by wrapping ribbon randomly between two chairs so they had to weave their way through.



They needed to throw the ball into a "basket" for the last obstacle. While I could have dragged Connor's basketball hoop out of his room, I decided it was easier to just flip Jenna's play table upside down instead.

The obstacle course was a hit with both kids and they played with it even when I stopped to make lunch. For some of our activities, I've noticed that they seem to have fun while I'm playing with them, but once I need to move on to something else, they do too. So the fact that they continued to play was a testiomony to them truly enjoying this game the most!
