Liven up your children’s club event! A collection of ideas everyone can enjoy

Kids Flea Market

Both the sellers and buyers are kids! Kids Flea Market

How about having the kids run a flea market by themselves? There are lots of items like children’s clothes and toys that quickly become too small or no longer age-appropriate, yet feel too good to throw away.

Let the kids take the lead in selecting items and setting prices, with other children as the customers.

It’s a great activity that teaches valuing things and the importance of money.

cyalume dance

[Self-collab] Tried expressing “Hai Yorokonde” with wotagei!! [Kocchinoken × Zero-uchi]

If you’re looking for a performance that really amps up the crowd, we recommend a “glow-stick dance.” A cyalume, also known as a chemical light, is a stick that starts glowing when you snap it, causing two liquids inside to react chemically.

They’re commonly used at concerts and events.

They’re lighter than penlights, come in a wide variety of colors, and some can be worn around the wrist like a bracelet—making them a great match for dance.

Turn down the lights and dance with glow sticks to an upbeat track, and the venue is guaranteed to light up with excitement! It does take some practice, but it will surely become a wonderful, unforgettable memory.

Give it a try for inspiration!

Panel theater

The Wonderful Hat Shop: Keropons Panel Theater

Panel theater is full of tricks that delight children.

It’s sure to keep them glued to the world of the story.

Making everything from scratch is great, but there are also kits that include everything you need for panel theater, so you might make good use of those! Even a single performance often takes time, so save a moving, meaningful story for the grand finale and present it to the children!

Bingo Tournament

We tried holding a bingo tournament—BINGO★ Nya-Nya Channel

A bingo tournament is even more exciting when there are many children or when parents join in.

Small children may not understand the idea of losing.

Use inflated balloons or origami—anything is fine—so that everyone gets something.

Blacklight Panel Theater

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star nursery rhyme; black light panel theater; toy piano; soothing music; soothing lights; black light panel theater; toy piano; song; percussion.

This is recommended for anyone who wants to put on a show full of appeal that captivates children! Let us introduce the Black Light Panel Theater.

Unlike a regular panel theater, this one is performed in a dark room, illuminating the artwork with a black light, letting the audience experience an extraordinary, out-of-the-ordinary atmosphere.

When the black light shines on pictures painted with fluorescent paint, they take on a magical, glowing look that is sure to hold children spellbound.

Adding sound with background music or instruments enhances the mood of the story even more.

Create pieces that match the season or special events, and be sure to debut them!

Insect Tai Chi: “Everyday Hand Play and Exercise Songs” by hoikucan Gakken

Let’s all get moving together and work up a good sweat.

I highly recommend the ever-popular “Insect Tai Chi,” which kids love, too.

Immerse yourself in training deep in the forest, pretending to become various insects, and strike sharp poses—there’s no doubt you’ll feel totally refreshed.

ensemble

Ensemble: “Let’s Try It” … Staff

If you’re looking to put on a performance that leaves a lasting impression, why not try incorporating an ensemble? It’s great with just adults, and it’s also fun to involve the children and work on it together.

You’ll need practice time, but the experience of everyone putting in their best effort will become a cherished memory.

When you feel the sense of accomplishment from synchronizing your breathing and performing a piece as one, it’s likely to deepen your bonds.

Hopefully it will turn into a wonderful performance that warms the hearts of those watching, too.
