Popular song medley in May
Let’s create a Singing Day where everyone gets excited with their favorite songs! Here are some popular May song medleys.
Children are probably getting familiar with various nursery rhymes every day at daycare or kindergarten, right? If you ask each child, “What’s your favorite song?” you’ll likely hear a wide variety of answers.
Plus, let’s enjoy Singing Day by mixing in trending songs from anime and movies! It’s also great to make DIY microphones and costumes.
The appeal is that everyone can have fun in a relaxed and free-spirited atmosphere!
Fingerplay paper puppet (Pepaato)
Let’s put a fun twist on hand games that are super popular with kids and put on a show! Here are some ideas for hand-game paper puppets.
How many times a day do you play hand games with the children? Among those, take the hand games they’re most into and adapt them into paper-puppet versions to play! It could be fun to set a special Hand Game Day and try playing by adapting them into paper puppets, a panel theater, or even picture books.
Use the children’s reactions as a guide and enjoy the event together with them!
Balloon Whack Game
Here’s a game using balloons that kids love: the Balloon Smack Game.
It’s basically the summer watermelon-smashing game, but with a balloon instead of a watermelon.
One designated player wears a blindfold and swings a plastic bat toward the balloon.
Spectators should keep a safe distance and guide the player with their voices: “To the right!” “A little farther back!” and so on, helping them find the balloon.
It also works well as a warm-up when you’re planning to do a real watermelon-smashing activity at an overnight camp or summer festival.
