Need to get your kids off the couch?
I have something for you this week that will not only keep kids active, but also will do a lot of good things to their brain, their memory and even sleeping habits.
It’s a sidewalk obstacle course.
Don’t worry. No need to look for pool noodles or other equipment. You already probably have everything you need for this activity.
CREATE SIDEWALK OBSTACLE COURSE WITH CHALK
Good chalk and a sidewalk are only two things you will basically need for this obstacle course.
Make a start point and work your way around the sidewalk (or wherever you are making the obstacle course) by drawing different activities. Include many different tasks such as dancing, jumping, hopping, turning around, jumping on 1 foot, clapping, going backwards, etc. You could even include rocks or other objects and create a task around 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. It makes the obstacle course more fun.
