[Preschool] Fun event ideas to include in the sports day for the junior (younger) class

Coming up with events for the sports day of younger kindergarteners is fun, but it can also be a bit challenging.

Especially at schools with a long history, you need to be creative so they don’t overlap with past events.

Here, we’ll introduce ideas for activities that children will enjoy.

There are events the whole class can do together, as well as ones where parents and children cooperate.

Sports day is an important occasion to feel the children’s growth.

Please use this as a reference to plan events that make the children say, “That was so much fun!”

Let’s create wonderful memories together—for both kids and adults!

Che Che Kori – Oto no Kakehashi Children's Choir

Let us introduce Chekkori Tamaire, a game where everyone has fun dancing together.

Move your body joyfully by dancing to the Che Chekkori song.

As soon as the music stops, throw the balls toward the basket.

Repeat the same sequence within the time limit and compete to see how many balls end up in the basket at the end.

Since ball tossing pauses while everyone is dancing, the whole group can get excited together—that’s a key point.

Chekkori Tamaire gets everyone at the venue dancing, so be sure to give it a try!

We’ll introduce a tanuki-themed ball toss game made using milk cartons, featuring an adorable tanuki as the highlight.

Prepare milk cartons, scissors, plastic bags, and tape to get started.

Cut the milk carton into four equal parts, then layer and tape them together to form a circle.

Attach a plastic bag cut in half to the circular milk carton to create a basket shape.

Finally, stick the milk-carton basket onto a tanuki illustration, and your ball toss game is complete.

You could also switch to other animals like rabbits or bears to make it even more fun!

Tamaire with moving targets

Here’s a fun beanbag toss with a moving target that goes up and down.

Gather a trash bag, a hula hoop, and vinyl tape to make it.

Tape the trash bag onto the hula hoop.

Then attach vinyl tape to the hula hoop and hang it from a curtain rail.

After that, toss balls so they go through the hula hoop.

If an adult pulls on the vinyl tape to change the height or move it during play, it will get even more exciting! If you prepare several targets and use a large hall, many people can enjoy it together.

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.

Let’s play while getting creative! Here are some circuit (obstacle course) ideas you can make with pool noodles.

All you need are pool noodles and a utility knife or scissors.

Cut the long pool noodles in half and use them for the course! Place the halved pool noodles on the floor and include a tightrope-walk section where kids crawl or walk along them.

You can also roll balls along the top of the noodles, or connect them into circles to make ring shapes—great ideas to try!
