Hurdle / Long Jump / Javelin

SKILL FOCUS

Endurance, Gross Motor

GROUP SIZE

2+

EQUIPMENT

8 cones, 4 pool noodles, floor tape, 2 balls

SETUP

You can do this as a relay race or have the kids compete against each other individually. Use cones to mark start and finish lines.  Each team should have 2 cones with a pool noodle balanced on top, 3 jumping lines, a throwing noodle, and a ball balanced on the end cone as shown in image below.

INSTRUCTIONS

1.On ‘go’ the first child must run and jump over a pool noodle hurdle.

2.Next, they must long jump to three consecutive lines on the floor, touching each one with their feet.

3.Once complete, they pick up a pool noodle and javelin toss it towards a ball balanced on top of a cone. They must knock it off the cone or throw it 3 times, whichever happens first.

4.Next, they must sprint back to the next student in line. On their way back, they must fix any parts of the obstacles they may have misplaced or moved.

5.Once they get back to the start line, the next child must start the same process.

Make it Easier: 

Use smaller cones to jump over, shorten the distance of the toss for the pool noodle.

Make it Harder:

Use larger cones to jump over, lengthen the distance of the toss for the pool noodle.
