Over & Under!

Over & Under! is the Obstacle Course Quest for ages 5–10 — twelve missions organised by the positional language kids are learning to read: GO OVER (Jump the Log, Leap the River), GO UNDER (Bear Crawl, Limbo Low), GO THROUGH (Hoop Hop, Weave the Gates) and GO AROUND & ALONG (Zig-Zag, Balance Along the Line, Spiral In).
Because the card names movements rather than equipment, any gear works — cones, ropes, benches, chairs or chalk lines — and the Super Challenge flips students from players to designers: build a course that uses all four powers. The logbook doubles down on that with a design-your-own-course drawing box labelled with positional words, a word-to-picture match task and a Beat the Clock re-run, so spatial vocabulary is written and read, not just performed — a genuine PE × literacy crossover.
Two pages for F–Year 4 with five safety cues (one on the course at a time). Pairs with Move Masters for travelling technique, and graduates years later into Obstacle Course Architects — Design, Build, Play!
What students learn
Apply locomotor and body-management skills through an obstacle course — moving over, under, through and around objects with control, and designing a course that combines all four movement challenges.
Topics: obstacle course, agility, locomotor, coordination, spatial awareness, fundamental movement skills, creativity
