Time
- 10 to 20 minutes
Materials

Directions

Extensions
- After running the course a few times, make up new directions like walk around the chair, jump to the chalk line, run back to the blocks, etc.
- For indoors, mark the floor path with masking tape on the floor and run without touching each other.
