Jungle Obstacle Course

Supplies

• Chairs, cones, boxes, or buckets (for crawling and weaving)

• Ropes or yarn (to make “vines” to duck or step over)

• Hula hoops (to jump through or use as “animal traps” to avoid)

• Cushions or mats (to leap over as “crocodile rivers”)

• Soft animal toys (to collect as “rescues”)

• Jungle sound effects or music (optional but fun!)

• Stopwatch or phone timer (optional for timed runs)

• Set up the course: use imagination to create jungle theme things such as....

  • Leafy entryway or hanging vines made of streamers or yarn.

  • Weave through the trees – zigzag around cones or chairs.

  • Crawl through the tunnel – under a table or between two boxes.

  • Jump over the crocodile river – use cushions/mats as “stepping stones”.

  • Swing through the vines – duck under ropes or jump over them.

  • Rescue the baby animals – pick up a soft toy along the way and carry it to safety.

  • Finish with a jungle roar at the end!

• Demonstrate the course once before letting kids try.

• Kids can go one at a time or race in pairs if space allows.
