[Senior Class Events] A collection of game ideas to liven up a sports day for 5-year-olds

Jama-Jama Ball Toss

[Sports Day ☆ Event] Adults get hyped too! Chaotic Beanbag Toss

When it comes to games that kids and adults can enjoy together, “Jamajama Tamaire” tops the list.

Tamaire (ball toss) is a classic at sports festivals, but this version adds a twist by positioning people to interfere, making it harder to get the balls into the basket.

You can physically obstruct with illustrations or wall panels, or draw attention by wearing full-body suits—there are all sorts of ways to get in the way.

With the increased difficulty, even adults will find themselves getting serious.

It’s also fun to use quirky, comedic music as the background soundtrack.

Soccer in big underpants

Sports Day explainer video No. 4: Senior class parent-child event — “Soccer in Giant Pants”

It really makes an impact visually! Here’s a soccer idea using “dekapan.” Dekapan is a race commonly seen at school sports days where two people form a pair and wear an oversized pair of pants together.

This time, let’s have a parent and child wear the dekapan, kick a ball, and aim for the goal.

If you split into teams—like Red Team and White Team—and start at the same time, you can compete for speed.

Through racing in dekapan, children can develop perseverance and a healthy focus on winning and losing.

Playable Archery

[Playable Craft] So easy! A well-flying bow and arrow/archery—how to make it (plastic fork, straw, rubber bands) [Easy craft, recycled play, at-home play, indoor play]

Let’s make a bow and arrow that flies well! Here are some ideas for a playable archery activity.

Archery is a sport where you use a bow and arrow to hit a target.

This time, how about getting involved from the making process and having fun by using plastic forks, straws, and rubber bands? You can stack paper cups to make a target, or draw a picture on paper to create one.

Try playing together with a parent or guardian, experimenting with timing and how you launch the arrows.

It’s sure to become a valuable time for communication.

Balloon Trampoline

[Balloon Trampoline] Strengthen the core with crawling movements! #indoorplay #developmentalplay #childcare

Only two materials! Here’s an idea for a balloon trampoline.

The bouncy, springy feeling of a trampoline excites both kids and adults, doesn’t it? This time, let’s play with a DIY trampoline.

All you need is a large vacuum/compression storage bag and balloons.

Inflate the balloons and pack them into the storage bag.

Seal the bag, compress it, and you’re done! A balloon-made trampoline is colorful and sure to capture kids’ attention!

Mr. Ant on an errand

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Event Descriptions No. 7 and 8: “Errand Aisan” and “Little Ants’ Errand.”

Let’s clear the mission! Here’s an idea inspired by “The Little Errand Ant.” Many of you probably know the children’s song “Otsukai Arisan.” This time, let’s incorporate it as a sports day event.

Once you’ve made the treats using colored plastic bags, poster paper, and construction paper, you’re all set.

Familiar items like candies, donuts, and biscuits work well.

Following cards that display illustrations of treats at random, children carry oversized treats in a unique relay-style competition.
