Sports Obstacle Course

We did a little obstacle course today in preschool...
I just laid masking tape down on the carpet, simple idea that you can do at home & keep your kiddos busy, while exercising!


They had to stay on the tape, so they walked one foot in front of the other...

1st Stop: Toss the golf ball into the bowl...

2nd Stop: Spin around on the Sit n' Spin...

3rd Stop: Shoot the ball & make a basket...

4th Stop: JUMP inside the hula hoop 3 times...

4th Stop: RUN & jump into the bean bag chair...

5th Stop: Swing the baseball bat & hit the ball...

Last stop: Drive the school bus by turning the wheel around & around...

Everyone did a GREAT job & received an award of EXCELLENCE!!!

Playing sports helps develop coordination and your gross motor skills.
It is a great activity to do with your child! See if you can teach them a new sport this weekend. It can be as simple as a bean bag toss, hitting a golf ball into a bucket or playing catch!
