Now it’s your turn! See if you can create an indoor obstacle course that you can complete with your family. Draw inspiration from the videos above, or come up with your own amazing ideas.

Once you have built the course, test it out to see if it works. Then invite your family members to have a go. Use a stopwatch to see who can complete the course in the fastest time.

If you like, you can even send your teacher some photos or a video of you doing your obstacle course. Good luck, and be sure to put everything away when you’ve finished with it!

Activity 1 – Watch This Video

Activity 2 – Mindful Walk

The practice of mindful walking is an opportunity to give our minds a break. We try to focus on the present moment with each step that we take. When we take a mindful walk, we are paying attention to how our body feels, our breathing and the nature around us.

How to take a Mindful Walk:

1. Begin walking, a little slower than normal.

2. Pay attention to each step that you take.

3. Be aware of each breath.

4. Breathe easily, but deeply.

5. Use your 5 senses as you walk – What can you see, hear, feel, smell and taste?

Activity 3 – Specialist Activities.

Don’t forget to complete your Art, Mandarin, Music and P.E. tasks! You can also visit the Birralee STEM Blog for more fun and hands-on activities.
