Parenting Sometimes Looks Like American Ninja Warrior
A TV Show Inspired My Family Togetherness
Our family is obsessed with American Ninja Warrior. We have watch it as a family and last winter we transformed into participants with our at home version.
Going to one of the big box stores and purchasing their products to set up the course was not in the budget so my husband used all the random items in the garage to make obstacles. The kids and I have talked about making obstacles in the backyard including a warp wall and a peg wall, but that is a project for the spring.
Our events were “floating chairs” in the hallway, balance beams with an egg balance, a tape maze, a ring toss, a ball toss, a rope and elevated ladder they had to walk across, and a climbing wall. A bell was used as a buzzer at the end of the course.
Above you can see the tape maze that the kids had to navigate with an egg on the spoon. We lost about 3 eggs over the course of 2 days.
