Jungle Obstacle Course

Set up an obstacle course (backyard gym) with a jungle theme. Ideas include:
Quicksand: set a blanket across a section to leap over
Poisonous vines: tape a towel in a doorway to crawl under
Bat cave: bring together a few chairs and throw a blanket over them for crawling under
Crocodile territory: put tape on the floor to walk on (crocodiles on either side)
Spider nests: make dashes with the tape to hop over
Piranha pond: a small kid’s pool with “rocks” to walk across
Hungry jungle creatures: line up stuffed toys all along the way to avoid by zigzagging.
