Ring Relay
@kidschallengeclub ⭐️Exciting⭐️ 🌈Ring Relay🌈 We’ll split into two teams and do a relay‼️ I think you’ll understand the rules once you watch the video☝️✨ Let’s do it while thinking with your friends about how to get to the finish faster❣️ After explaining the rules, we’ll give you practice time again, and then it’s the real run‼️ It’s more fun than just training 😀 And because it’s done as a team, everyone takes it more seriously than usual 🎵 We’re sharing fun games like this 🗽 Please follow us 🙇♀️relayteamRecreationCooperationFriendshipKids Challenge ClubExercise Play ClassFukuoka City#Momochi Gymnasium <h id=”10″>弥生幼稚園</h>︎
Battle Theme / Dragon Quest III – Me Gāne
Here are two ideas for ring relay games.
What you need to prepare are markers for the start and finish lines.
In the first game, each person crawls under the feet of the person in front, then quickly stands up and spreads their legs to form a tunnel, connecting all the way to the finish.
In the second game, players form pairs to make a ring, and the next person in line crawls through as they all move toward the finish.
The key point is that neither game can be completed by a single person.
It’s also fun to compete by team!
Soap bubble play

Wrapped in the warm, pleasant weather and with more days at comfortable temperatures, spring makes you want to head outdoors and play to your heart’s content with the kids, doesn’t it? How about incorporating bubble play into those outdoor activities? Fill a basin with plenty of bubble solution and use things like fans or hangers to enjoy making big, dynamic bubbles.
In the spring sunlight, the bubbles will likely sparkle and shine.
I can just picture the children happily running around with the bubbles.
Give it a try for some inspiration!
Churippu sharippu

Hold hands with your friends and play while calling each other’s names! Let me share the idea for “Churippu Sharippu.” There’s nothing to prepare, so just hum the song together and play.
There are moments in the song where you call out names, which makes it great for learning your friends’ names.
It’s especially recommended for classes with new or transferring children! You can adapt the way you play, so it’s an idea that children from infants to preschoolers can enjoy.
Be sure to try it in your activities.
Playing around with a towel in various ways

Let’s try moving our bodies and playing with a towel! You might wonder, “How do you play with a towel?” but towels are surprisingly great for play.
First, as a warm-up, rub your body with the towel—like dry brushing in cold weather.
Once you’re warmed up, let’s start playing with the towel.
First, pretend the towel is a jump rope and jump.
Next, play tug-of-war by pulling on the towel.
It’s also fun to throw the towel at a target.
Finally, everyone can play tag with towel “tails”! As you play, the kids might even come up with new games of their own.
In conclusion
We introduced play ideas recommended for three-year-olds.
At this age, children can start playing by rules, and their interactions with friends increase significantly.
You’ll want to prepare a variety of activities so they can play a lot.
Whether outdoors or indoors, having plenty of play options means you’ll never be stuck.
Let’s play to our hearts’ content with the kids!
