In this game, you look at sample pictures or numbers written in a 3×3 grid and aim to copy them correctly.

Place the sample and the answer area a short distance apart to create a moment for holding the information in memory.

Working memory is the ability to retain information while using it.

If it isn’t well developed, it can lead to difficulties such as not following instructions properly, frequently forgetting things, or being forgetful in general.

Let’s have fun with this game while steadily strengthening your working memory.

Hello! This is Soramame Kids, the speech and language classroom 🍀 This time, we’re introducing a simple game that helps you learn force control ✨ All you need are paper cups and a balloon! It’s easy to make, so try competing and playing with your friends ✨#SoramameKidsChild Development SupportAfter-school day service#KagoshimaRehabilitationEasy to preparetranslation#StayHomeTime

♬ Original Song – Soramame-sensei – Soramame-sensei

Let’s learn to control force through a fun game.

This is a paper-cup popper used in the game.

Cut out the bottom of a paper cup, cover it with a balloon whose tip has been cut off, and secure it with tape.

Then tie the part where the air would be blown in, and it’s ready.

Put a light ball into the cup, pull back the tied part, and release to launch the ball.

Aim the ball at colored cups.

Start by trying to get the ball into a cup; next, try matching the ball to a cup of the same color for an added challenge.

Block Stacking GameNEW!

@jr_12340301

Hello! This is Iroha Child Development Support. “Block Stacking Game” We used soft blocks to play. From the various shapes of blocks, choose one and see how high you can stack it—that was our goal.After-school day serviceChild Development SupportAfter-school Day Service IrohaChild Development#NeurodevelopmentalDisorders# developmental support (ryōiku)ParentingNaka River#Nakagawa CityOno CastleŌnojō CityKasuga#Kasuga CityFukuoka CityChikushinoChikushino City# Building BlockstranslationIndoor Games#Indoor Play

♪ Yes, gladly — Kent from this side

In the block-stacking game that nurtures spatial awareness, the goal is to stack the blocks as high as possible.

It’s not a competitive game; everyone works together.

The blocks aren’t just squares—there are triangles and cylinders too—so you need to be creative about how you place them and in what order.

Choose your blocks while thinking about how to pass the turn to the next person without making the stack collapse.

Spatial awareness is essential for grasping a sense of distance, and it also plays a role in learning letters and shapes.

If you like, take this opportunity to help foster it.

Give it a try!child# developmental support (ryōiku)#AtHomePlayAfter-school day serviceNagasakiEducational#NeurodevelopmentalDisordersworkTranslationBall play

♬ Upbeat, fun and bright rock’n’roll(1368783) – $PHIN35

A delivery game where concentration and carefulness are key.

Split into teams, and the team that carries the most balls into the hoops wins.

Obstacles appear along the way, so quickly dodge them without getting hit while carrying the ball on a rice paddle into the hoop.

If you drop the ball, restart from that spot.

Once you get used to the game, you could set a time limit or make larger hoops to place the balls in.

The game helps boost communication among participants.

Territory-Capturing MagnetsNEW!

@soramame.sensei

Hello! It’s Soramame Kids! Today we’re introducing a fun game! As long as you have a magnet and a string, you’re all set! ✌️ Adults and kids will get hooked! It’s an easy and fun game! 💕Speech and Language Classroom#SoramameKidsAfter-school day service#After-school day serviceChild Development Support#Child Development Support (Japan)Speech-Language-Hearing TherapistOccupational therapistNursery teacher / Childcare worker#KagoshimaRehabilitation# developmental support (ryōiku)Recreation#Indoor PlayAt-home play#IndoorPlayChildcareControl of PowerEasy to prepare#HandmadeToys

♬ Dr Mario-style puzzle game chiptune(1184029) – HIRANARI

The rules are simple, but this territory-taking magnet game gets friends hooked.

Grab some small magnets and a string, and get started.

Take turns placing magnets inside the area defined by the string.

The first player to run out of magnets wins, but if any magnets stick together the moment you place one, take those stuck magnets back to your own supply.

As the game goes on, there will be more magnets, the placement area will get tighter, and magnets will stick more easily, so place carefully.

Widening the string’s area and adding more players might make it even more exciting.

An educational game you can play using only dice

Ages 3–12 [Top 5 Picks Chosen by Pros!] Easy educational games you can play using only dice / TERU’s Parenting Study Group: Childcare, Early Learning, and Home Education for Young Children

This is a numbers-focused activity that children can enjoy from age three.

Understanding numerical concepts is helpful in everyday situations, like shopping or reading a clock.

This time, let’s explore numbers through play using dice.

You’ll need items like wooden blocks, stickers with numbers written on them, a box, and some dice.

First, help your child get used to the motion by practicing throwing the dice into the box.

After that, start with simple activities: throw the dice into the box and count the number of dots that appear together, or throw dice of different colors into the box and count which color appears the most.

Beginning with these simple games can help reduce any resistance to numbers.

Drawing song: challenge without looking at anything

I tried drawing a 'drawing song' from memory without looking at anything.

Let’s try a drawing-song game you can enjoy while sitting indoors.

The person giving the challenge chooses a theme and plays a drawing song.

The person answering does not watch the video—only listens to the song—and draws the illustration.

When the song ends, try to guess what you’ve drawn.

To help everyone around enjoy it, prepare large sheets of paper and draw in a way that’s easy to see.

It’s important for both the viewers and the person drawing to keep that sense of excitement as you go.

Choosing easy-to-recognize subjects—like famous characters or seasonal fruits and flowers—will make the game more lively.
