Number of Players: One to several children along with supervising adult
Materials Needed: 2 sticks that are relatively thin and approximately the same length
Rules:
- During you next hike, nature walk or playtime in the backyard, instruct
child(ren) to locate 2 sticks that are approximately the same length and aren’t too thick (no more than 1-2 inches).
- Once 2 sticks have been found, you’re ready to begin play. Set each stick parallel with the other and 3-4 inches
apart.
Instruct child(ren) to place toes behind the starting stick and to jump over
both sticks.
- With each successful jump, move the ending stick further away from the starting
stick, thus making each jump more challenging.
- Whichever child completes the most successful rounds of jumping will win and
will carry the title, “Kangaroo Kid”!
