Technology plays such an essential role in our lives that we sometimes get distracted and need to exercise more.
This is also a problem for our children, who enjoy technology and cannot move. It is vital for mental health because the body keeps the brain moving, too.
Many of us are tired of being stuck in our homes, watching old movies and doing the same activities. It is vital for our bodies and those of our families to move. This can be done by creating a family obstacle course with household items.
For those who don’t have much space in their homes or apartments, hallways can be a great alternative.
What makes obstacle courses so great for everyone? Because you can use anything you have at home and make whatever moves work for you and your family.
We used painter’s tape to create an obstacle course in our narrow corridor. We crawled under and stepped over it!
You don’t need a tunnel to make your crawl space. Don’t you need a tunnel? No problem! Just line up some chairs, and let your children crawl underneath them.
What better way to finish your obstacle course than by sinking into a homemade crash pad, aka a pile of pillows or stuffed animals?
Additional advantages to obstacle courses
A family obstacle course can bring together the whole family, young and old. The family can help each other complete the obstacle course, bringing them together and teaching our children teamwork. The best thing about this activity is the opportunity to make memories and have fun together.
