Since we love popping bubble wrap with our fingers, we decided to switch it up a bit by trying to pop the bubbles with our feet in an obstacle course. With the help of our teachers, who helped us lay out and tape down the bubble wrap, we decided to run over it using a variety of movements. On one lap, we decided that everyone had to stomp. On subsequent laps, friends had to crawl, run, and hop on the bubble wrap in different speeds, carefully making their way around the structure and back to the hill where they would roll down to finish it off. When participating in this obstacle course, we tried our best to stay behind the friends in front of us and reminded each other that it was not a race. We were all there to have fun and get our energy out before heading home for the day; and, in so doing, we were ultimately practicing our gross motor and perpetual awareness skills in a social context. We enjoyed popping the bubbles and anticipate our next roll of bubble wrap to squish!
