Get Outside! Backyard Kids Obstacle Course Ideas

March 28, 2017 By LaVonne

Spread the love

My kids love making obstacle course races in our backyard. They’ve been doing it for the last few years. They will pull outdoor toys from the garage and set them up. They grab the tablet, turn the stop watch feature on, and try to be the fastest.

An obstacle course race is a great outdoor activity for kids. Do you remember being sent outside, all the time, when you were a kid? I know I do. Now that we are finally starting to get Spring weather, I am giving my kids no choice. They must go outside.

Kids Obstacle Course Ideas

You can use the things you have on hand to make your own backyard obstacle course for kids. Use things like:

  • back yard playground structure
  • cones
  • jump rope
  • balls
  • crawl-thru tents

What do you have laying around that’d be great for the kids to use to make their own obstacle course? 

My kids had things to run around, jump over, climb through, climb up and slide down in their backyard obstacle course last week. And it kept them busy, outside, and moving — just how I like it.

Quads of Fun Junction Set

Play time could not get any more fun with the Quads of Fun Junction Set from Pacific Play Tents. This vibrantly colored set offers enough room for your child and friends. Set includes a junction that has partial mesh for ventilation and viewing, and 4 tunnels that easily connect to the junction. Tunnels feature interior padding around hardened spring-steel structure for added comfort. Ideal for building gross motor skills and core muscle strength. Perfect for indoor or outdoor use.

My kids LOVE their Quads of Fun Junction Set. We had an older tent from our local consignment store that the kids take out each Spring, but it was just one tunnel. Four tunnels that are easy to set up? Well, let’s just say, this is going to be the big hit this Spring.

    Oh my gosh, that is super adorable! That’s a fun way to play outside with the kids. My kids would’ve loved having those to run/crawl through!

    These look fun. Miss having littles. Now mine are all video games, hanging out with friends around the fire pit, and pool time. They loved stuff like this when they were tiny. Now I’m feeling nostalgic lol.

    Oh wow! Your house looks so fun! I want to join in the obstacle course too! 🙂 Even my younger ones are now too big for something like this. I miss this age and stage though! Enjoy it while it lasts and cherish every moment!
