Build An Obstacle Course

Collect household items like couch pillows ,empty paper towel rolls or toilet paper rolls, a bouncy ball, flashcards, a kitchen spoon or ladle, kitchen tongs, a bucket or other large cup, pillows, a sheet or blanket, alphabet magnets, coins, dice, marbles , or whatever you would like to create an obstacle course. Weather permitting, you can also do the obstacle course outside. Have stations with tasks to accomplish, like hula hooping for 60 seconds or doing 50 jumping jacks. Be creative!
Map out some space for your course—it doesn’t have to be a lot! Use a piece of tape, or a piece of yarn, at the starting line and your finish line.
Here are a few ideas to get you started on building an indoor obstacle course

Crawl under or over a row of chairs.
Crawl under a string stretched between two chair legs.
Jump into and out of a Hula-Hoop five times.
Walk on a balance board.
Run while balancing a beanbag or book on your head.
Somersault from one point to another.
Do a handstand.
Skip in place while reciting your favorite song.

Have an indoor picnic

Grab a sheet, whatever food you have, and enjoy a living room picnic (without the ants). You can even play a memory game at the same time if you have some guests: “I’m going to a picnic and I’m bringing…” Each person takes turns remembering (in order) what everyone is bringing and then adds one thing each turn.

Let's do Yoga!

The word “yoga” means “union” in Sanskrit, the ancient language of India. Quite simply, yoga is the “union” or coming together of mind (thoughts and feelings) and physical body. The beauty of yoga is that you can practice alone, with a friend or with a group. Here are some benefits to doing yoga:

Yoga is a great way to move our bodies and feel healthy.

Week 3

Family Handprint Keepsake

Why not create memories while you are in quarantine with your family. This activity is really easy and you will always have it to reflect on the time you all spent together. All you need is colored paper, scissors, glue stick and markers. You can also add any other crafts you have laying around the house.

Everyone pick a different color piece of paper.
Trace your hand and cut out.
Make sure to write your name or initials on the thumb.
Place the cut out hands on a large piece of paper. Bigger hands first. Once you get the hands placed the way you want them, use the glue sticks to keep them together. (see pic)
Don't forget to title your Handprint Keepsake and date it so you will always remember when it was made.
Put your Family Handprint Keepsake in a frame, photo album or on the wall in your room.
