The Oddball Games

Looking to add a new challenge to your limbo contest? Try adding wheels. See for yourself as this six year-old attempts to set a world record by limbo-skating under 39 cars.

Octopush is like a totally normal game of hockey—it just happens to be played underwater. Watch the US Women's National team explain it.

Worm charming! Now this is getting weird.

The great thing about Parkour is that you don't need a field or any special equipment to do it. It's all about using parts of the world around you—walls, fences, dumpsters, tree trunks, or whatever—to move from one point to another as fast and efficiently as possible. Take a look.

In Oregon, pumpkins aren't just for pie or Halloween jack-o'-lanterns—they're also turned into canoes for the annual West Coast Giant Pumpkin Regatta. It's quite a sight.

It's like skateboarding. With your fingers.

Limbo skaters go under all kinds of obstacles and Parkour freerunners leap over them. Now, it's your turn.

Create an obstacle course out of various objects you have at home. Obstacles can be pieces of furniture or objects to go over, under, and around, or they can be challenges to complete before moving on to the next obstacle (like stacking up cups, carrying a ball on a spoon, or doing other tasks that require some focus)!

To start, plan where you want your course to go, then break it up into 8-10 stations or challenges. For example, at one station you might have to crawl under a piece of string stretched between two chairs, and at another you might have to put a pile of crayons into rainbow order.

(And please be kind to your family and clean up your obstacles after you're done.)
