Safari Jungle Gym Ninja Circuits

Turn any traverse wall into a full-on ninja climbing wall with exciting obstacles!
You must choose an option from above before adding to your cart.

Fun yet challenging ninja obstacles combine with any traverse wall to develop coordination, upper body strength, and spatial awareness. Easily mount between or above traverse walls using powder-coated steel 84"W x 24"D frames and brackets to extend the traversing path or add a new dimension to the experience. Mounting brackets easily fold up to keep climbing elements out of reach between classes.

Safety mats allow students to climb with confidence and connect to extensions for an expanded safety zone if desired. After use, mats fold up to cover obstacles and prevent tampering, while extensions must be removed and stored elsewhere. Each course includes two 6’L x 4’W x 2” thick safety mats and two 4"W x 2”L extension mats.

Students will love climbing, swinging, and monkeying through these exhilarating courses. Sets are available in 3 sizes to match the needs of your class. Sets include hardware and activity guide.

Safari Jungle Gym Ninja Circuits Activity Ideas

The Safari Jungle Gym Ninja Circuits set is a modular obstacle course system designed for dynamic, full-body movement challenges that promote agility, balance, coordination, and strength. With its heavy-duty, animal-themed components and ninja-style course elements, it allows students to jump, duck, climb, crawl, and balance their way through engaging circuits that develop key fundamental movement skills. Below are 15 creative and unique activity ideas using the Safari Jungle Gym Ninja Circuits, perfect for use in physical education classes across all age levels.

Each activity reinforces one or more fundamental movement skills and can be scaled for small or large groups using the jungle gym's versatile and colorful components. Additional items from Gopher Sport are named when needed to enhance each activity.

1. Jungle Jaunt Jump-Off: Students leap over each jungle gym obstacle in a relay race style, focusing on leaping and jumping. Emphasize landing softly and safely with bent knees for body control.

2. Crocodile Crawl Course: Arrange the tunnels and barriers low to the ground. Students perform an army crawl or bear crawl through the jungle gym circuit, developing crawling, core stability, and spatial awareness.

3. Banana Balance Bash: Set up balance beams and have students carry a "banana" (use a ball or beanbag) across without dropping it. Emphasizes dynamic and static balance.

4. Monkey Swing Madness: Attach ropes or similar items between upright components. Students swing side-to-side or forward and land safely, emphasizing swinging and landing.

5. Safari Slide & Glide: Set up mats after a ramp for safe sliding. Students climb up then slide down using body control and turning movements at the bottom.

6. Rhino Run & Roll: Students sprint between modules and stop to do a forward roll on a mat at each checkpoint, reinforcing running and rolling.

7. Lemur Leap Line: Students line up and leap from one platform to the next in sequence. Increase gaps for older students. Focus on explosive power and leaping.

8. Koala Climb Challenge: Set up climbable pieces vertically and have students climb and descend safely. Reinforces climbing, upper-body strength, and landing technique.

9. Safari Station Standoff: Set up the circuit in four different “animal zones” where students perform different non-locomotor movements (stretching in the snake zone, balancing in the flamingo zone, etc.).

10. Primate Push Parade: Students push foam logs or barrels through the course, developing upper-body strength and pushing skills.

11. Croc Stop Pop: Students stop at a whistle, freeze in place on a jungle gym element, and perform a balance pose. Teaches stopping and static balance under movement.

12. Jungle Jam Jump Rope Jive: Students complete part of the circuit and must perform 10 jumping jacks before moving on. Builds jumping rhythm and cardiovascular fitness.

13. Chimpanzee Chase Tag: One team of students is "it" and can only tag others when all are on the jungle gym structure. Teaches dodging and spatial awareness.

14. Safari Slam & Catch: At circuit stations, students must throw a foam ball at a target and catch a rebound before moving on. Builds manipulative throwing and catching skills.

15. Mission Monkey Ninja: Students complete the full course wearing animal masks (optional) in a timed ninja mission format. Incorporates multiple fundamental skills including agility, landing, climbing, and dodging in one final fun challenge.
