What You Need

• Drinks and snacks (maybe frozen treats?)
• Duct tape
• Golf Ball
• Golf putter
• Metal lids, one per person, for medals
• Pebbles
• Ping Pong Paddle and Ball
• Plastic Cones
• Plastic container

• Soccer Ball
• Softball

What You Do

1. Create a circuit around the outdoor area with several stations
   At each station, place a piece of sporting equipment. Leave enough room between each station for safe play.
2. Pick an action for each station, keeping in mind the age and abilities of your guests
   For example, kick soccer ball around a cone.
3. Or how many times can you dribble a ball?
4. Make a mini-golf hole from a recycled plastic container
   Cut out the side of a plastic container and now you can play mini-golf!
5. How many times can you keep the ping pong ball in the air?
6. How many pebbles can you toss into a chalk circle?
7. How far can you hit a softball?
8. How many bottles of water can you knock down with a tennis ball?
   See how cool it looks when you put food coloring in the water?
9. When the obstacle course is done, hand out homemade medals
   Make medals by attached metal jar lids to ribbon with some duct tape.
