The Obstacle Course Resource Pack is a dynamic and versatile physical activity set designed to engage children in energetic, imaginative play while developing essential physical and communication skills. Whether used in a school hall, nursery setting, outdoor playground or even an ample home space, this obstacle course encourages children to move, think and explore creatively.
This comprehensive obstacle course offers endless opportunities for fun and active learning. Children can crawl under the net, jump over hurdles, walk across the balance board, or step to the left or right through flat hoops—perfect for interactively reinforcing positional language. It’s not just about movement; it’s about developing awareness of space, direction, and coordination.
Designed to boost physical development and social interaction, the Obstacle Course Resource Pack encourages children to work together, take turns, and compete in a safe and enjoyable environment. It’s ideal for EYFS and Key Stage 1 physical development activities and therapeutic or inclusive settings. The elements can be arranged in countless configurations, allowing children to create layouts and challenges. This inspires imaginative thinking and keeps sessions exciting and fresh.
Educators and play leaders will love how easy it is to set up and adapt the layout for different skill levels and activity goals. Whether a solo challenge or a group relay, this obstacle course helps children build strength, balance, coordination and confidence while having fun.
