[For 4-Year-Olds] A Collection of Indoor Play and Game Ideas That Get Everyone Excited

Rolling Dodgeball

@toiro_efilagroup

Do you know “Korokoro Dodgeball”?After-school day service#toiro#Kanagawa PrefectureAndanteChildcare Worker

♪ Original song – toiro After-school Day – toiro After-school Day

Let me introduce Rolling Dodgeball, a game where you roll the ball instead of throwing it.

The rules are similar to regular dodgeball, but players are split into inside and outside groups, and the ball is rolled to keep the game going.

If an inside player is hit by a ball rolled by someone on the outside, they move to the outside and join their team’s attack from there.

It can also be fun to decide the winner by counting how many players remain inside at the end.

Unlike regular dodgeball, this version uses a soft ball, so you can play safely.

stop ball throw

Thinking while moving is fun! Let me introduce a stop-ball throwing game idea.

You’ll need colored balls and cards with signs on them.

Place the colored balls on the floor and throw them into a basket.

If a “Stop” card is shown, everyone must freeze, even if they’re in the middle of throwing a ball.

Once the children get used to the rules, it’s fun to add similar-sounding words like “tomato” along with “stop.” Adjust the activity while observing the children’s responses.

Quick Towel Grab Game

Sharpen your judgment and reflexes! Here’s an idea for a quick-draw towel game.

You’ll need white towels and flags.

Pair up in twos and sit facing each other across a table.

When the teacher raises a flag, quickly grab the towel.

Once you’re used to the rules, it gets more fun if you increase the number of towel colors to two or three! While identifying the color of the flag the teacher raised, search among the towels on the table for the specified color and pull it toward you.

Give it a try!

Alien Repatriation Game

The Ministry of Play is born! Alien deportation 👽 Let’s all work together and see how many we can send back!#asobi_in_lifePlayMinistry of Play#Yoshi Oniisan#playGo viral#LOLTrendy oneAkikusa Gakuen Junior CollegeAliensAlien Repatriation

♪ Original Song – Asobi Agency – Asobi Agency

Work together with your friends to help the aliens! Here’s an idea for an Alien Return Game.

You’ll need balloons, markers, and something to mark the start and finish lines.

In this simple game, you transport a balloon (pretending it’s an alien) to the goal—but teamwork is a must.

The rule is that teams of four must hold hands and never let go! Coordinate your timing using your joined hands, and use your heads, shoulders, or hips while calling out to each other.

Cooperate and save the aliens!

Rock-Paper-Scissors Balance Game

[Kids’ Exercises You Can Do at Home] Rock-Paper-Scissors Balance & Power Challenge (For Preschoolers to Lower Elementary)

Here’s a rock-paper-scissors balance game that gets your whole body moving.

Play rock-paper-scissors with your friends.

If you win, do a one-legged balance for 5 seconds.

If it’s a tie, spin around twice and then do a one-legged balance for 5 seconds.

If you lose, spin around three times and then do a one-legged balance for 5 seconds.

For children who find one-legged balancing difficult, it’s recommended to hold onto something while balancing.

When playing the rock-paper-scissors balance game, secure a spacious area and keep a safe distance from one another to ensure safety.

Come-here game

[Toddler Play] “Come here, come here” game — a play activity that even 3-year-olds can do!

Even though the rules are super simple, let’s try playing the “Come Here, Come Here Game,” which kids are guaranteed to love! Divide into a teacher and children.

The teacher gently beckons to the children, saying “Come here, come here.” While the teacher is saying it, the children move slowly toward the teacher without running.

When the teacher suddenly says, “Come here, come here…

It’s a ghost!” the children have to run away so they don’t get caught.

Once everyone gets used to it, you can make it even more exciting by faking them out with similar-sounding words to “ghost,” like “pot” or “mother.”

Animal Role-Playing Game

[Age 4] Animal Role-Playing Game — Body-Building Games for 4-Year-Olds | Torikai Yui-Kindergarten [Nursery School/Kindergarten]

Animal Pretend Play is an indoor game where kids become their favorite animals and have fun.

All you need are items like cones and foam blocks.

With the right stimuli, children develop explosiveness, flexibility, and balance.

Standing on one leg like a flamingo helps train balance, and moving like a gorilla or leopard enhances full-body athletic ability by enjoying each animal’s characteristic movements.

It’s a lively activity you can do indoors, so keep spirits high even on rainy days.
