Indoor Obstacle Course
This can take a bit of time to set up, depending on how many "stations" you have, but it can also keep children busy for quite some time and exert lots of energy! For younger kids, start with just two simple stations and develop it as they grow, changing the stations they master for harder ones. Here are some ideas:

  • Crawl under or over a row of chairs
  • Put your feet in a pillowcase and hop to the next station
  • Crawl under a piece of rope or a scarf stretched between two chair legs
  • Throw a beanbag into a laundry basket
  • Walk or run while balancing a beanbag on your head
  • Do a somersault (or more), or somersault from one station to the next
  • Do five jumping jacks
