hand play song

Nursery teachers teach! A medley of popular hand-play songs: “It’s Starting,” “When I Grow Up,” “Disney Hand Play,” “Rolling Eggs,” and more!

The perfect hand-play songs to liven up a children’s club.

With simple movements and easy-to-remember lyrics, they’ll capture kids’ hearts.

Shout out loud with “Kaeru no Uta,” and get moving with “Ito Maki.” The best part is that not only children but also adults can enjoy them together.

One special charm of hand-play songs is how they deepen connections across generations.

The time parents and children spend singing the same songs will surely become unforgettable memories.

Let’s all sing and dance together to make the children’s club a blast!

Make groups of three: How to do the stick-figure dance

Unique movements and a distinctive atmosphere are sure to captivate the kids! How about making stick puppets and putting on a dance? In the video, it looks like three people are dancing, but in fact the ones on the left and right are puppets.

Sticks connect the arms and legs of the puppets on both sides to the person standing in the middle, so the puppets move in sync with the center person’s movements.

Making the puppets by hand takes a bit of time, but since you don’t need to coordinate a dance routine, you can put on a show as soon as the puppets are finished.

The kids will likely be fascinated and ask, “Who’s dancing?” Be sure to give it a try!

Musical chairs

Musical Chairs (4- and 5-year-olds)

Arrange the chairs in a circle, and when the music stops, everyone sits down.

Anyone who can’t find a seat loses—this is a classic recreation game.

Play music at a comfortable walking tempo and enjoy seeing who will be the final winner.

If there are many participants, it’s a good idea to increase the number of chairs you remove each round.

A play is recommended as entertainment for the children’s club.

If you choose a play based on “The Monkey and the Crab,” kids can play a variety of characters like the monkey, the crab, the chestnut, and the bee.

Adding original touches—such as unique lines or playful pranks—will make it even more enjoyable.

Wearing costumes that match each character and doing impressions is sure to liven things up! It could also be nice to end the story with the monkey and the crab making up.

It sounds like a wonderful activity that will nurture the children’s expressive abilities and creativity.

Cherry-Blossom Viewing Entertainment ~2022~ [Tenjikunezumi Kawahara Ultimate Series]

When it comes to entertainment that instantly brightens the mood of a cherry-blossom viewing party, manzai comedy is the go-to.

A duo sets a theme in advance and delivers lighthearted jokes and punchlines about spring and cherry blossoms.

It’s recommended to weave in seasonal material and relatable “everyday” bits from the office or school.

Keeping a snappy back-and-forth naturally draws the crowd in.

The key is to wrap things up with a final punchline that brings the story together and hits a peak of laughter.

With brisk banter, unique facial expressions, and more, it’s a great idea for delivering all kinds of laughs.
