triathlon

Let’s clear the challenges set at each station and aim for the finish! Here’s a triathlon-inspired idea.

A triathlon is a race where you swim, cycle, and run in sequence to reach the goal, right? This time, let’s try playing a game where you aim for the finish by overcoming a series of continuous challenges, just like a triathlon.

In the video, it looks like pairs are cooperating and playing together.

How about incorporating this into your activities with some adaptations?

Group boat race

@hiyoko_sakuranbo

You can start tomorrow! Group rhythm “Boat Race” “Solo boat” and “Two-person boat” are fun, but doing it as a group of 7 or 8 is even more fun! If you include it at the end of a requested staff training, the teachers’ smiles burst forth, and you can finish the session in a joyful atmosphere. It’s the same with children. If you end with a rhythm activity everyone can enjoy together, you’re sure to see the biggest smiles. ✨ Give it a try in tomorrow’s childcare! **************** “Saito Kimiko’s Cherry Rhythm Play” is a scientifically grounded method that promotes children’s development through play. We share rhythm activities that can be implemented immediately in educational settings through workshops and at preschools nationwide. **************** Mayumi Murata | Cherry Rhythm Play ▶ Book text composition for “DVD Book Complete Visual Edition: Saito Kimiko’s Childcare” ▶ Planning and editing for “Illustrated Edition: Saito Kimiko’s Sakura·Sakuranbo Rhythm Play” Thank you for your likes and follows!#Cherry Rhythm PlaySakura Sakura-nbo Rhythm#Rhythm PlayRhythm PlayHiroko SaitoNursery teacher / Childcare workerKindergarten TeacherGroup boat race

Perfect for class recreation or grade-level activities! Here are ideas for a group boat race.

You know how rowing is an Olympic sport, right? This time, we’re sharing ideas for a boat race played in groups.

In the video, teams of seven sit in a row and inch forward toward the goal by pushing with their heels.

It’s not just the person in front who does the work—when everyone on the team synchronizes their timing, you can make big progress! It’s also a good idea to use a chant like “1, 2, 1, 2” or “Ready, go!”

Kendama Fencing

Let's play kendama fencing! #after-school care #kendama

Let’s play by arranging the game! Here’s an idea for Kendama Fencing.

Fencing is a sport that originated from medieval European chivalry, where two athletes face off one-on-one using swords, right? This time, let’s use kendamas instead of swords.

Split into two teams and keep a distance of about five meters between them.

Choose one player from each team, and have them aim for the opposing team’s side while balancing the ball on the kendama’s cup.

The rule is: when they pass by each other, the player who knocks the opponent’s ball off with their hand advances.

Rock-paper-scissors tail tag

[5-year-olds] Rock-Paper-Scissors Tail Tag

A game that combines two popular activities! Here’s an idea for Rock-Paper-Scissors Tail Tag.

First, set up a home base, then go about 20 meters away and play rock-paper-scissors.

The winner runs back to the base, and the loser tries to grab the winner’s tail before they reach it.

Once everyone gets used to playing one-on-one, switching to team matches can make it even more exciting.

Another fun part of this game is planning strategies with friends or teachers and thinking about how to win as you play.

Give it a try!

Flip-over game

Fierce close match! The flipping game!!!

Get the crowd going with a team battle! Here’s an idea for a flip-over game.

Split into two teams to compete.

Like Othello, prepare a board with two colors on opposite sides and start the game! When the time is up, the team with more of their color showing wins.

Kids will be totally absorbed and eager to take on the challenge—no doubt about it! Before you begin, remind everyone to watch out for collisions and falls while they’re focused on the game.

Give it a try!

Rock-Paper-Scissors Train Game

Yanagi Kindergarten, good friends of the Chick Class! Let’s play energetically!

Let me introduce the Rock-Paper-Scissors Train game.

Move around the room pretending to be a freight train to the music of a freight train.

When the music stops, play rock-paper-scissors with a friend.

The person who loses places their hands on the winner’s shoulders, boards the same train, and sets off together.

Repeat this process to add more friends to your freight train.

When everyone is riding on the same train and departs together at the end, the game is complete.

Try speeding up or slowing down the music to match the children’s pace and have fun!
