For the kindergarten sports day! A list of obstacle course ideas

Cardboard kart circuit

[3-year-olds] We made carts and had a race!

Let’s have fun with decorations too! Here are some ideas for a cardboard kart circuit.

What you’ll need: a kart made from cardboard, hats made from construction paper, crayons or colored pencils, coloring pages, double-sided tape, building blocks, and balloons.

Some kids may have played go-kart or racing kart games before, right? Hop into a cardboard kart and race along a course made from blocks! It’s also great to arrange it as a parent-child activity.

Since decorating the cardboard karts is part of the fun, the making process looks exciting too!

Balance Ball Circuit

7 Balance Ball Exercises Parents and Kids Can Do Together

Here are some ideas for a circuit using a balance ball.

All you need to prepare is a balance ball.

Many people may think of it as something adults use for rehabilitation or training, but there are plenty of fun ways to play with a balance ball, so I highly recommend it! Of course, it’s great for practicing balance and strengthening the core, but you can also incorporate activities suited to each child’s stage of development—like crawling under a springy, bouncy balance ball or clinging to it tightly and using their whole body.

Circuit of the large cube

[Childcare Scene] Let’s Play with the Safety Mirror Cubes – Care for 2-Year-Olds at Chidori Nursery School: Chiba City Authorized Nursery #2yearsold #largeblocks #nursery #shorts

Let’s get moving while we play! Here are some circuit ideas using large blocks.

All you need are large blocks.

Many kids love building houses or making tunnels with big blocks, right? Try adapting these ideas into a circuit course.

A tunnel with clear windows is unique and fun, letting kids pass through with excitement.

Both the children going through the tunnel and those watching will feel the thrill.

Since there’s a chance of bumping faces or falling, be sure to take precautions when using large blocks for physical activities.

A circuit where you role-play as a ninja

[3-year-olds] Ninja Training! ~Circuit Play~

Nin-nin! Swift and stylish moves! Here are some circuit ideas for becoming a ninja.

Prepare a ninja transformation set made from construction paper, a balance beam, a jump rope, mats, and so on.

The video introduces circuit ideas for three-year-olds, but with a few tweaks, many of them can be uniquely adapted for two-year-olds as well! Let’s use the balance beam, jump rope, and mats to fully get into ninja mode.

Wearing a ninja dress-up set to boost the mood is a great idea, too.

Circuit to train the soles of the feet

Two Foot-Strengthening Activities: Foot Sole Circuit & Foot Art #Childcare #IndoorPlay

Sharpen your senses! Here are some circuit ideas to train the soles of the feet.

Prepare cone cushions, yarn, decorative balls, craft glue or tape, a glue gun, construction paper, cleaning sponges, and round stones.

Attach each material to the construction paper by type.

It’s also a good idea to use items found at your preschool or home, as well as recycled materials.

By feeling differences in texture and temperature with the bottoms of their feet while playing, and by walking over the materials to brace themselves and maintain balance, children can also improve their motor skills.

wall climbing

Tottori Manabiya Preschool - Event [Sports Day Practice] 5-year-olds

An idea for a wall-climbing activity that gets the viewers excited too.

Set up a wall along the course and have participants climb it.

You can use any material for the wall, but a wooden signboard or a slatted panel works well.

If it’s simply placed, there’s a risk it could tip over, so teachers should firmly support it from both sides.

It’s also important to set the wall height so that participants can just barely reach the top with their hands.

That way it’s safe to climb and still gives a sense of accomplishment.

pedal-powered bike

Sports Day Circuit

It seems like things would get even more exciting if there were a competition involving some kind of ride.

So, I’d like to propose a foot-propelled bike.

A foot-propelled bike, also known as a “kick bike,” is like a bicycle that you push along by kicking the ground with your feet.

It could be fun to include race-like elements to match the name “circuit.” How about waving a flag at the finish line? Since it can go a little fast, don’t forget to prepare helmets.
