Backyard Obstacle Course

Even if you’re not attending the St. Bernard Summer Camp Games, you can make your very own backyard (or park) obstacle course! Here’s what you need:

Hula hoops, skipping rope, lawn chairs, two 1-liter pop bottles (with water or sand in them to make them heavier), ball

 

What you do:

1.       Put the hula hoops on the grass in an off-center pattern. Have people hop through them.

2.       Lay the skipping rope on the grass and have people walk across it like it’s a high wire.

3.       Set the lawn chairs up in a row and crawl under them.

4.       Set up the pop bottles like goal posts. Kick the ball through them.

5.       Invite your friends to try your course. For extra fun, try timing the events and see who can do the course the fastest!

    It does sound fun, but I have a dog. So I can’t do it because he would distroy it. I wish I could.

    That’s a cool idea, but I can’t do that for a couple reasons:
    One. I’m allergic to grass and cannot crawl on it.
    Two. My backyard is extremely small-I live in a town house.
    But my BFF does have a big backyard, and we could change some of the games or put blankets or towels down so I don’t itch like crazy and get rashes from the grass.
