[For 5-Year-Olds] Recommended Indoor Play! A Collection of Exciting Games

Bomb game

[Indoor Play] A Game Enjoyable Across Ages [Bomb Game]

The excitement just won’t stop! Here’s a fun idea for a bomb game.

It’s a great way to build concentration and decision-making skills while playing.

All you need is a device that can play music and a ball or balloon.

Have the participants stand in a circle facing each other.

While the music is playing, pass the ball to the person next to you.

When the music stops, whoever is holding the ball loses—simple as that.

It’s sure to be a hit with preschool classes!

Rhythm Play

Rhythm Play (Imitation Edition)

Let’s enjoy a “rhythm play” that will get your body moving naturally! Tap your knees twice—ton, ton—and then clap your hands once in front of your chest—pan.

To the rhythm of “ton-ton-pan,” the leader changes the “pan” part and names a body part.

For example, “ton-ton head,” “ton-ton butt,” etc.

Everyone else taps their knees twice and then touches the body part the leader names.

Try to keep up with the rhythm without falling behind! As a fun variation, the leader can say an animal name like “ton-ton monkey!” and everyone can imitate its sound, such as “ton-ton ook-kee!” That would be entertaining too.

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.”

Reverse hide-and-seek

Reverse hide-and-seek: When you spot the ‘it’ (the tagger), hide immediately! Who will be the last one remaining...?

The idea of adding a little twist to the usual game of hide-and-seek—reverse hide-and-seek—is really fun and highly recommended.

The rules are flipped: the seeker is the one who hides! Everyone else tries to find the hiding seeker.

If you’re lucky enough to find them, you then go hide somewhere yourself! The person who can’t find the last remaining hider loses.

You might feel like shouting “Found you!” when you spot them, but if you do, everyone else will rush over.

So in reverse hide-and-seek, even if you find the seeker, quietly go hide yourself.

It’s a thrilling game where you keep the joy of discovery to yourself.

Shape Finding Game

Let’s boost discovery, imagination, and expression! Here’s an idea for a shape-finding game.

It’s a simple yet effective game where you spot shapes in everyday life.

Start with basic shapes like circles, triangles, and squares, and as you get used to it, raise the difficulty with stars, diamonds, and pentagons to expand interest and increase the fun.

It’s also great because drawing the shapes you find on paper helps develop expressive and creative skills.

While playing, you can deepen shape recognition and sharpen your discovery skills!

Stacking paper cups

Mari-chan is furious! Paper cup stacking contest with friends! What’s Mari-chan’s time? HUGtto! Precure Three Siblings Mom Collaboration #37 Runrun Mama

Let me introduce a fun stacking game with paper cups.

Stack 15 paper cups into a pyramid shape, starting from the bottom.

Time each round and compete to see who can finish their pyramid the fastest.

Because you have to think about the best way to stack the cups as you go, it trains both concentration and problem-solving skills at the same time.

Plastic cups are smooth and glossy, so for children, paper cups are recommended.

Give it a try!

Picture shiritori

Animal drawing shiritori♪ Drawing animals shiritori cheetah, raccoon dog, giraffe, pig, woodpecker, crayon, Sansan, Kumorin, toys, anime

Here’s a drawing Shiritori game that really gets everyone excited.

The drawing Shiritori game can be enjoyed with two or more people.

First, decide on a theme for the drawings.

The first person draws a picture on paper based on the theme.

The next person looks at the previous drawing and draws something that starts with the last letter of the previous item’s name.

Take turns repeating this.

It gets even more fun if you set final rules in advance, such as what happens if someone ends with an “n” (which would normally end the game) or if someone can’t draw something.

Have fun and give it a try!
