Obstacle Course

In this activity, the children had various PE equipment which were an obstacle for them to arrive to the destination. First they had to take the tennis racket and roll the ball towards the hula hoops. Afterwards, they had to go through the 3 hula hoops and finally jump on the ladder. By doing these 3 obstacles, they will arrive at the parachute area.

Parachute Game

Children really love this activity. Each child had to take a section of the Parachute and had to pull it up and down. To stimulate and challenge children, I put balls on the Parachute and they had to balance on it thus, they had to be careful not to drop the balls on the floor. Finally, I asked each child in turn to go under the Parachute and played the game “Iż-żunżana ddur iddur” in a different way.
