ONLINE LEARNING: OBSTACLE COURSE FUN!
Michael Rosen's book "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" is the ultimate book to get inspired to create your own obstacle course/bear hunt.
Let's start by reading the book!
Now scout out an area in your house or outside in your yard where you will go on your own Bear Hunt. Find a pillow, a chair, a blanket (you get the idea) to create obstacles you have to get around. Outside you might use rocks or branches for physical obstacles. Now you're going to start walking and when you get to the first obstacle, echo the book "Oh no! A rushing river?! We can't go under it. We can't go over it. We'll have to go through it." Continue until you get to the end and find your "bear" (scary!) then reverse your steps.
Want to make it more interesting? Try this in-between obstacles:
- Walk backwards (carefully) for 10 big steps
- Jump ahead 15 big jumps
- Hop on one foot for 32 hops
- Slide sideways 5 slides
- Tiny fairy steps for 22 steps
- Somersault for five somersaults
- Skip from here to there
- Tip toe from the house to the veggie patch
- Gallop your pony from here to there
- Crawl from here to there
- Creep like a bear
Have fun on your Bear Hunt!
