Instrument performance
Instrument performances at Respect-for-the-Aged Day gatherings are an act that energizes the audience while helping them relax.
While loud volumes like a full band sound may be difficult, the special atmosphere creates a unique experience unlike everyday life.
If there are seniors who can play instruments, joining in for a session could make things even more lively.
Whether with vocals or performing famous tunes instrumentally, it’s a program that lets attendees immerse themselves in a pleasantly surreal mood.

theater
A play that draws the audience into its story and world can be a highlight of the Respect-for-the-Aged Day event.
You can choose a famous story everyone knows, or arrange it in an easy-to-understand way so people can enjoy it.
Of course, an original script is fine too, but be careful not to get too particular or niche, as the audience may have trouble following along.
Also, making it interactive—for example, by speaking to the audience from the stage—can really liven things up, so it’s a recommended attraction.
kamishibai (paper theater)
How about hosting a fun Respect-for-the-Aged Day gathering using kamishibai (paper theater)? It will bring back fond memories and create a heartwarming time together.
The key is to tell the story alongside the pictures so that older adults can really enjoy it.
You could borrow a set from the library, or create an original story of your own.
Adding expression to match each scene will make it even more engaging.
By immersing everyone in the world of the story, it can also help deepen communication among the seniors.
dinner party
After enjoying various performances at the Respect-for-the-Aged gathering, having the much-anticipated mealtime would make the event even more exciting, don’t you think? Unlike everyday meals, eating together while chatting will surely make the food taste even better! Even those who don’t usually eat much might have so much fun that they end up eating more than usual.
How about preparing dishes that are easy to eat yet visually festive, fitting for a Respect-for-the-Aged event? Wishing you a delightful meal that becomes a cherished memory.
handclap
Handclap dance is a popular staple at seniors’ gatherings.
You can move your body to the lively rhythm of Fitz and The Tantrums’ “HandClap.” The moves are simple and easy to learn, and the appeal is that older adults can join in by clapping along.
It can be enjoyed while seated, so everyone can participate comfortably according to their condition.
It’s also nice for staff since it requires little practice time.
It sounds like a wonderful plan that everyone can get excited about.
It will likely be a heartwarming time that deepens bonds with older adults.
rakugo (traditional Japanese comic storytelling)
Rakugo has been steadily gaining popularity among young people lately.
Many older adults likely have their favorite rakugo performers, so it’s sure to be a big hit.
Inviting a professional rakugo storyteller for a set would be luxurious and create a special, lively atmosphere.
However, if inviting a professional isn’t possible, how about having staff perform rakugo instead? It will take practice, but having a familiar face deliver a rakugo performance will no doubt get everyone excited!
Bingo Tournament
With simple preparation and rules—and even prizes to be won—bingo is sure to be a hit as an activity at a senior citizens’ gathering.
The organizers can also enjoy the process from the preparation stage, such as searching for prizes that seniors will appreciate.
Standard numbered bingo works well, but adding a twist—like creating original bingo cards featuring characters—might make it even more enjoyable.
It’s a tried-and-true, participatory recreation that really gets everyone excited.
