Methods & activities

What will you do? What kind of activities will be used?

Let’s create a sports game / track for families (indoors/outdoors), who pick up their children. Families proceed from one activity stand to another.

​

• Long jump. No measuring by meters, but place animal pictures to mark the lenght of the jump. “You can jump as long as a tiger.” Or “You jump as far as the rabbit.” 

• Use a large piece of cloth and cut out different shapes and different sized holes to the cloth. Spread/hang the cloth to suitable poles and make it a target for throwing things through the cut out holes. You can use different items (soft balls of toys, lighter or heavier etc.) as throwing objects. 

• A spider’s web, where you need to bypass the web without breaking/touching it.

• Use floorball or children’s hockey sticks and soft ball - guide the ball through a track with curves / obstacles.

• Soap bubbles: one blows out bubbles, while others try to break as many as possible before they fall. 

• Bowling with water balloons. Resources: water balloons, bowling pins and a watered tarp to cover the track.

• Hobby horse track with suitable hurdles.

​

At the end of the trick track, offer juice and biscuits to celebrate the accomplishments. (maybe you can bake the biscuits with children).
