With a bit of imagination, stuff that's been lying around the house all winter, unused, can quickly transform a seemingly boring backyard into a magnificent Stuff-stacle Course.

What You Need

• Stuff

• Stopwatch or a watch with a second hand

Instructions

1. Search the basement and garage for objects that will provide a challenge for the course runners.

2. Have the children all line up horizontally at the starting line.

3. Time the children as they perhaps: 1) whoosh down a playground slide; 2) wiggle through the hula hoops strung from a branch; 3) sprint around an eight-hat slalom course; 4) hurdle over the noodles propped on overturned plastic garbage pails; 5) crazily ride the tricycle to the garage.

Tips:

Think safety when you set up the course; there's a lot to trip over here.

Variations:

Try completing it backward.
Why not create a personal best chart?
See if you can beat your top time.
