Obstacle courses for kids can be a great way to get them outside and having fun. In an age where kids are more into playing games on the computer or their video game consoles, there’s no better way to encourage them to enjoy some outdoor fun.
Here are some ideas for kids’ obstacle courses that you can try at parties, summer camps, or in your child’s daily outdoor activity.
ladder race
This is another fun obstacle course for kids and will require the use of a wooden ladder. Make sure the ladder is sanded to prevent splinters from hurting children’s legs. Simply place it on the ground and then ask the children to run each race as fast as possible.
table tracking
For this game, you need a table, a hand pump, and a balloon. Blow up the balloons with the hand pump until they are as big as the table by stringing them. Once the table is completely covered, the child must crawl under the table and get to the other side.
ring spoon
Obstacle courses for kids, like the hoop scoop, require 8 to 10 plastic hoops. All the hoops must be placed in a straight line, then one child must be placed in the first hoop. As they enter a hoop, you should rise above your head and then drop behind them. Do the same procedure with the next ring, and so on.
assembly stroke
You will need a bike and a basket for this obstacle course for kids. It is necessary to indicate a route and place goodies along each route, which the child must collect at various points while traveling on his bike. The idea here is that the child does not leave the bike while collecting the items. You can try to vary this game or increase the difficulty level by changing the cycling route.
