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

Circuit of circulation

[Ages 3–5] Build motor skills with a roaming activity circuit!

Let’s develop physical abilities! Here are some ideas for a circuit-style activity.

A circuit course is one of the activities often done at sports days or during physical play.

In this event, participants move from one station to the next around a circuit—such as vaulting boxes and horizontal bars—completing each task in turn.

Children can move their bodies dynamically and give it their all, which helps improve their athletic skills.

Be sure to try incorporating it on this occasion.

flag

2024 Sports Day: 5th & 6th Grade Performance – Flag “Fly High” ~Toward the Future We Draw for Ourselves~

The synchronized movements with flags look really cool and can be quite moving, right? Each person is given a flag and uses their whole body to express themselves by moving the flag up and down, left and right.

When moving the flag, stopping crisply after each motion gives it a tighter look and makes it appear cooler—it’s a key point.

When performing as a group, aligning the horizontal and vertical lines and unifying everyone’s movements can help you put on a cleaner, more powerful flag performance.

It might also strengthen your team spirit if everyone discusses and decides on the flag designs and colors together.

dance

[Sports Day] The second graders’ dance is so cool~♪

The energetic dances at sports day really show how much the kids have grown, don’t they? It’s a good idea to choose familiar, upbeat songs that match the event’s theme.

Keep the choreography simple, age-appropriate, and easy to remember, and avoid making formation changes too complicated.

Coordinating costumes to create a sense of unity can make the event even more exciting.

The children may also discover the joy of expressing themselves through movement to music and the happiness of working together as a team.

Class relay race

Tega Hill Kindergarten & Nursery School 2016 Sports Day Senior Class Relay

The class relay race is one of the hallmark events of a school sports day.

Lines are drawn on the playground or in the gym, and children compete in speed as they run while handing off the baton.

Not only each runner’s speed but also the synchronized movements and unity with teammates will lead to victory.

Because it’s a sport where one person cooperates for everyone and everyone cooperates for one person, it can be a great opportunity to deepen bonds with friends in kindergarten or nursery school.

The cheers for the athletes giving it their all will be passionate, too.

Try making it one of the events that enliven the sports day for the oldest children in their final year at the school.

Parent-child cavalry battle

Parent-child cavalry battle

A parent-child cavalry battle that deepens the bond between guardians and children while getting the audience excited, too.

Parents and children participating in the sports day form pairs, and once the parent carries the child on their back, they’re ready to go.

The rule is to snatch each other’s hats that the children are wearing.

You can make it an individual match that continues until only one remains, or color-code teams and make it a team competition.

Clear communication between parent and child is the key to victory.

Consider adopting this event idea that really showcases the oldest children in action.
