[Viral Play😆💓] Balloon Ball Toss 🎈 Pre-orders now open for the at-home play book 📚 “At-Home Play from Age 3”#StayHomeTime#AtHomePlay#AtHomePlayHandmade 　Balloon

♬ Trending upbeat corporate sound ♪ – 3KTrack

Let me introduce a colorful, spinning Balloon Tunnel Ball Toss.

Inflate the balloons and stick them together with double-sided tape to form a ring.

If you blow a hair dryer from below, the balloons will float in the air and spin around.

Try tossing balls through the gaps between the balloons and have fun! This might be perfect for small sports festivals or events held in limited spaces.

Since a hair dryer is used, please operate it under adult supervision and take care to prevent any risk of burns for children.

[Parent-Child Event] Ball Carrying

Wakachan Sports Day 2012 Parent-Child Competition

Let’s enjoy the sports day with an event where adults and children work together to quickly carry a large ball to the goal.

This team-based game is all about cooperation between two people.

Keep in sync and aim for the goal quickly without dropping the ball placed on the tray.

The rule is that the tray holding the ball must be carried by the two of you while running.

Be careful—if you run too fast, the ball will roll off.

After making a U-turn at the target point, keep your focus and carry the ball all the way.

Do your best until you can pass the baton to the next person!

Discover the fun of working together! Introducing ideas for a big puzzle challenge.

Many teachers may be unsure about parent–child events where guardians participate together.

This time, let’s try a puzzle that 2-year-old children and their guardians work on collaboratively.

What you’ll need are cards with random animals drawn on them, animal headpieces, and a puzzle made from cardboard.

Starting this for the first time on the day of the sports festival might make the children anxious, so it’s best to incorporate it into everyday activities for practice.

Hide-and-seek at the sports day?

Hide-and-seek at the sports day? Fun parent–child performance ideas to try

Parents and children will both get excited! Here are some ideas for playing hide-and-seek at a sports day.

Hide-and-seek is usually a game played during everyday playtime, right? This time, let’s try it at a sports day.

It’s especially recommended for preschools and kindergartens where children wear the same hats and gym clothes for the event.

After hide-and-seek, setting up a corner where parents and children can deepen their bonds through dance or interactive play will make things even more lively.

Give it a try!
