Low-Obstacle Race
Japanese name: 低い障害物レース
Materials
- Soft, low obstacles
- Cones
- Flat foot markers
How to play
- An adult makes a short route, such as stepping on three marks, stepping over a soft low obstacle and circling a cone.
- Walk through together to learn order and direction. Provide a bypass for obstacles someone cannot cross.
- Start one at a time and follow the sequence. Wait if the gap ahead becomes too small.
- If an obstacle moves, stop while an adult replaces it. Do not jump high or dive.
- At the finish, cue the next player. Everyone completing the route is success. Change one feature and try again.
Ways to adapt
Preschool children: step over obstacles. Older primary school children: plan the route together.
