Controlling your strength is the key point! Let me introduce the idea of “Omusubi Kororin Konkororin.” The rule is to aim for the goal while rolling a large rice-ball sphere along.

Ball-rolling has long been a popular event at sports festivals, but in this game, the key is to get the large rice-ball sphere inside a ring, such as a hula hoop.

If you use too much force, it will pop out of the ring, so it seems crucial to work on it while controlling your strength!

Dancing Tamaire

Yakushiji Kindergarten: FY 2024 Kindergarten Sports Day – Senior Class Parent-Child Event “Dancing Tamaire (Ball Toss)”

Switch your moves to the music! Here’s an idea for Dancing Tamaire.

Dancing Tamaire is a fun, exciting, and unique twist on the traditional ball-toss game, with a dance element added.

While it follows the familiar rules of classic Tamaire, the key point is that participants toss balls while dancing to the music.

Parents might enjoy practicing the dance together with their children! It’s a great way to deepen bonds through the activity.

Card-Flipping Obstacle Race

Let’s join forces and make the mission a success! Here’s an idea for a card-flipping obstacle race.

Since they’re in their final year, this will be their last sports day, right? How about creating a special memory with a parent-child event at the end? Dash from the starting line to the card area! When you flip a card, you’ll find a mission written on it.

Work together with the guardian to follow the mission and aim for the goal.

Even slightly challenging missions can be overcome by cooperating with the guardian.

Snack-Grab Race

Snack-getting race (using bread-hanging strings)

An arranged version of the bread-eating race! Here’s an idea for a Snack-Grab Race.

It’s a perfect, exciting activity for a sports day with five-year-olds.

The rule is that participants must get a treat hanging from a string without using their hands—by jumping and using their bodies.

Through the competition, children can enjoy themselves while nurturing a spirit of challenge.

Individual results matter, but since everyone can cheer each other on and have fun together, it will become a memorable event.

Lick of ice cream

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Event Description No. 6: “Lick the Ice Cream”

Aim for the goal while keeping your balance! Here’s an idea for “Ice Cream Lick.” It’s a fun relay perfect for a 5-year-old’s sports day, featuring a quirky, eye-catching ice cream with lots of impact.

Place a large ice cream made from colored plastic bags on a giant cone, and carry it to the finish while maintaining balance! Kids can enjoy it as a relay on their own, or you can adapt it into a parent-child event.

Work together and head for the goal!
