Obstacle Jump
Supplies:
- Paper – coloured is more fun
- Tape
Prep:
- Fold the paper at the 1/3 line and at the 2/3 creating a triangle. Tape it together forming an obstacle.
- Make three obstacles (or more if you have a large group of children).
- Place the obstacles in the floor in a line about 1 yard or 1 meter apart.
Time to Play:
- Show your children how to run to the first obstacle and jump over it, then run to the next one and jump over it, all the way down the line.
- Encourage your children to try jumping over the obstacles. Cheer for them and have fun!
- For more advanced children, get creative by making other obstacles. Consider using rolled-up blankets or pillows.
Brain Boosting
Jumping Containers
Supplies:
- A matching set of 2-10 small sturdy cups. Plastic recyclable applesauce cups work well, or paper or plastic drinking cups.
- Rubber bands
- Optional: tape and scissors
Prep:
- Wrap two rubber bands around one cup making an “x” over the top opening.
- Turn that cup upside down. Turn another cup upside down as well.
- Press the cup with rubber bands on top of the cup without. Let go. It should jump away.
Time to Play:
- Show your child how to make the cup jump.
- Invite your children to try making the cups jump by themselves.
- Have fun and be excited.
