Football
You can build a small soccer field to play against each other. We used ball run tubes to make goals to shoot into.
You can also set up a soccer training course using CONNETIX as cones to practice dribbling around obstacles.
Archery
You can make a target for archery using a bow and arrow, or throw other objects such as a ball. You could have different coloured zones with each representing a different number.
Table tennis
You can use CONNETIX to make a table tennis net to play with. We had great fun transforming our table so we could rally each other. This may even work using CONNETIX as a bat and a wooden ball from the ball run pack, however we used a ping-pong ball as it’s much lighter.
Gymnastics
The ultimate small world play activity with opportunities to build a mat, beam, bars, vault, podium and so much more!
Inspire active play using CONNETIX as a gymnastics-style activity course with a tunnel, balance beam and obstacles to jump over.
Swimming and Diving
Another great idea for small word play is to make a 3D pool complete with a stadium for spectators, lifeguard towers and a diving board.
Running
Make a racetrack with a CONNETIX start and finish line, or even add in hurdles. We took some tiles to the park to make hurdles to jump over.
You could create a small world athletics field, placing wooden train track pieces horizontally across the track to create hurdles.
Long Jump
CONNETIX make ideal markers for all-sorts of games, try building a long or triple jump track with a line to indicate when to hop, skip and then jump. A sandpit at the end of the track would be the ultimate fun!
Discuss
You could use the hexagons or pentagons as a discus and see who can throw the furthest.
Cycling
You could make an obstacle course to cycle around CONNETIX stacks. We did this with a scooter at the park.
These are some of the fun ways to use these versatile tiles to learn, explore and be involved to support your country during the Olympic period.
