Fun Parent-Child Games! A Collection of Ideas to Liven Up Your Nursery School Sports Day

Hey! Welcome!

Tomobe Kindergarten Sports Day Event Description No. 11: “Hey! Irasshai”

Kids transform into sushi! Here’s a fun “Hey! Welcome!” activity idea.

In this unique event, children pick their favorite sushi topping, wear it on their backs, and crawl through a tunnel shaped like a customer’s mouth to reach the goal.

Parents play the role of sushi chefs: hold or give a piggyback ride to their sushi-transformed kids and run the course toward the mouth-shaped tunnel.

The adorable sight of the kids is sure to liven up the venue! Don’t miss the chance to give it a try.

Soccer in big underpants

Sports Day explainer video No. 4: Senior class parent-child event — “Soccer in Giant Pants”

We’d like to introduce a fun “giant pants” soccer game that strengthens the parent-child bond.

The parent and child both get into the prepared oversized pants.

While kicking a soccer ball wrapped in a net together, aim for the goal and get the ball into the net.

After scoring, the guardian carries the ball back to the starting line.

Once you return, pass the ball to the next person like a relay.

The key is how smoothly the parent and child can put on the giant pants together.

Think of an easy way to wear them, and do your best to win!

Bread-eating race while being carried

Flailing around in a bread-eating race

How about arranging a classic sports day “bread-eating race” into a “piggyback bread-eating race” for your nursery or kindergarten sports festival? The key is to hang the bread a bit higher so children can only reach it if their parent picks them up.

Since lifting takes some strength, it’s an event that fathers as well as mothers can easily take part in.

We’d especially love dads who don’t often get chances to interact with their children to join in! It’s a creative twist on the usual bread-eating race.

Let’s deliver flavors of the world!

Turn the recipe cards and start cooking! Bring flavors from around the world! Here’s an idea to try.

Sports Day is a special event that happens once a year.

How about competing while learning about the world? Let’s have parents and children work together to make dishes from around the globe as they overcome items like hurdles and balance beams.

Through pretend play, you can create happy memories of joining a fun event together—making American hamburgers, Japanese osechi, Italian pizza, British sandwiches, and more.

Candy-eating contest

We’d like to introduce a simple but fun candy-biting race that both adults and children can enjoy.

A parent and child hold hands at the start.

Without using your hands, use your mouth to grab a candy hidden in the powder inside a food storage container.

Since you can’t see where the candy is, your face might end up covered in white powder while you search! Once you get the candy, hold hands and run around the cone together toward the finish line.

Have the guardian take the candy for you! We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that allow easy movement and that you don’t mind getting dirty.

[Parent-Child Event] Sushi Relay

I don’t dislike that quality.　Mom loves youThey say it doesn't look like sushi once you sit down.Sports DayWe couldn’t do it this year.#Nursery school

Original song – Susu – Susu

This parent-child event, inspired by sushi, is incredibly unique and adorable! Just like its name, “Sushi Relay,” the children run part of the course wearing backpack-style sushi toppings on their backs.

From the middle of the course, the children ride on a tire while their guardians pull them to the finish line.

It looks just like sushi plates gliding along a conveyor belt—super cute! With such a fun and creative concept, it’s sure to get the whole venue excited.
