Activity #17: Duplo ice cream obstacle course



Description: At the start, the kids choose a piece of paper with a Duple ice cream pattern on it. They then run through the obstacle course. At the end is the Duple blocks they need to make their pattern. They need to use the blocks to make the pattern. You can use any obstacle in the middle: tunnel, jumping off stools, bounce a ball against a wall, walk on a line, crab walk (just to name a few).
Age: 3+
Purpose:
Gross motor
Fine motor
Memory
Matching
Prep time: moderate: you have to set up the course and draw the Duple patterns
What you’ll need: Duple ice cream set. If you don’t have this you can use any kind of building block.
Fun Factor: This was a pretty fun one. They enjoyed building the ice creams to match the pictures. My son on the spectrum tried to change the patterns to his flavour likings, but it still worked out. He also asked to do it again the next day.
