This is week 6 of our Weekend Camp at Home, where we try to occupy kids with fun and hopefully independent play activities on the weekends. It can improve concentration and it will reduce anxiety and stress for kids. It can reduce risk of unhealthy weight gain. It can also improve coordination and movement skills.

It can improve better sleeping habits, Help children develop friendships, increase confidence and happiness. Keeping kids active is super important and obstacle course is a great way to do it. I love obstacle courses mainly because it keeps kids moving AND playing, so they are always up for it. I try to encourage kids to create their own obstacle courses.ĭid you know that kids aged 5-12 years should have a combination of moderate and vigorous activities for at least 60 minutes every day. Use this as a starter and idea generator, but don't let it keep you from creating your own very best obstacle course.

If you need a plan or some inspiration you can download our Sidewalk Obstacle Course printable and follow it. It's a good idea to squeeze in some ''break'' activities such as make a wish, give high five to the sky, say your name, empty your pockets, etc. You could even include rocks or other objects and create a task around it. Include many different tasks such as dancing, jumping, hopping, turning around, jumping on 1 foot, clapping, going backwards, etc.

Make a start point and work your way around the sidewalk (or wherever you are making the obstacle course) by drawing different activities. Good chalk and a sidewalk are only two things you will basically need for this obstacle course.
