Happy Sunny 🌞 Monday! I hope you all enjoy a little sunshine and fresh air today. For today’s Movement Monday activity, how about a fun obstacle course? Obstacle courses can work on so many skills including motor planning, coordination, balance, moving in different planes, and also provide proprioceptive (body awareness) feedback. Obstacle courses also give a child an opportunity to burn off any excess energy, or even gain some energy if they are feeling tired!

The obstacle course can be set up inside or outside. Use whatever items you have at home, whether it’s pillows, couch cushions, painters tape to set up a trail, chairs to crawl under, tunnels, mini trampolines, and so much more. The possibilities of creating an obstacle course at home are endless! Below are some images for inspiration. If you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to reach out! Please send me a photo or video of your child engaging in the obstacle course to khanafs@dearbornschools.org or text to 734-655-0527 😊
