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

Caterpillar relay

Let's do a caterpillar relay using cardboard for 4-year-olds!

I also recommend the “Caterpillar Relay,” which is fun from the preparation stage.

A caterpillar here refers to the rotating track part that serves as the wheel section on an excavator.

Keeping that in mind, cut cardboard into shape and draw pictures on it.

During the event, a child gets inside and crawls forward, making it look like the caterpillar track is rotating.

If they draw their favorite designs beforehand, it will boost their motivation to participate.

Another appeal of the Caterpillar Relay is that it can be enjoyed as a relay-style race.

Enjoy freshly picked fruit

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Event Description No. 9: "Freshly Picked Fruits, Enjoy!"

Let’s feed seasonal fruits to the animals! Here’s an idea for a fresh-picked fruit feast.

Prepare a strawberry tree, a banana tree, an apple tree, and animal motifs (rabbit, monkey, elephant) with holes for their mouths.

Once you start, choose your favorite fruit and detach it from the tree.

Carry the fruit in your hand as you move to the next area.

The challenge is to put the fruit into the mouth of your chosen animal to feed it.

Give this fresh-picked fruit feast idea a try!

Playing with various balls

All Sorts of Ball Toss Games! [Ages 3–5] | Torikai Yuiku-en [Nursery/Kindergarten]

Unique and fun! Here are a variety of beanbag-toss game ideas.

When you think of “tamaire,” many people probably picture tossing cloth balls into a high basket.

This time, let’s try some variations—like using a lower basket or aiming for the basket on the back of a running opponent.

With these twists on the traditional game, children are sure to get even more excited.

Give them a try!

Hey! Welcome!

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Event Description No. 11: “Hey! Irasshai”

Kids transform into sushi! Here’s a fun “Hey! Welcome!” activity idea.

In this unique event, children pick their favorite sushi topping, wear it on their backs, and crawl through a tunnel shaped like a customer’s mouth to reach the goal.

Parents play the role of sushi chefs: hold or give a piggyback ride to their sushi-transformed kids and run the course toward the mouth-shaped tunnel.

The adorable sight of the kids is sure to liven up the venue! Don’t miss the chance to give it a try.

Ball toss in oversized bloomers

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Event Description No. 4: “Big Pants Ball Toss”

Let’s get excited with a unique idea! Here’s a beanbag-toss game using “dekapan.” Dekapan means oversized pants, and participants compete while wearing them.

In this event, it seems the rule is that a parent and child wear one pair of oversized pants together and toss beanbags while running in cooperation.

Since the parent needs to move in sync with the child, timing and calling out to each other are important.

Seeing teams competing while bundled into the dekapan is absolutely adorable!
