Pillow Obstacle Course

Indoor games
  • 5–10 years
  • 30 min
  • at home

Two chairs, a pile of pillows and a blanket turn the living room into a course with a tunnel, stepping stones and a balance beam. Your child designs it first and runs it afterwards.

What you need

  • Pillows and sofa cushions
  • 2 chairs
  • A blanket
  • A belt or scarf to mark the finish line

How to play

  1. Let your child pick four obstacles: crawl under, step over, balance along, jump across.
  2. Build them in a row — two chairs with a blanket on top make the tunnel.
  3. Walk the whole course together once slowly and agree on the rules.
  4. Run it for time, then run it in the opposite direction.
  5. Swap one obstacle for a new idea and race again.
