Here’s a fun paper cup race you can make with everyday materials.

Get some paper cups, raffia tape (plastic ribbon), and vinyl tape ready.

Poke holes in the paper cups, thread the raffia tape through, and tie a single knot to assemble it.

It might be nice to draw faces on the cups with a felt-tip pen, too.

Once it’s finished, place a ball on the cup, pull the string, and start the race.

Move slowly and carefully so the ball doesn’t fall off.

Try timing your runs or competing to see who can reach the finish line the fastest and have fun!

Do it right away! Epicenter game

[Let’s Play! Indoor Games] A “Shingenchi Game” you can start right away with friends and family
Do it right away! Epicenter game

I’m going to introduce a “Shingenchi” game that everyone can get excited about.

First, choose one person to be the Oni (it).

The Oni’s job is to figure out who the Shingenchi is.

One other member becomes the Shingenchi and performs various movements while trying not to be noticed by the Oni.

The remaining members should imitate the Shingenchi’s movements—mixing in other motions as well—so the Oni can’t tell who the real Shingenchi is.

The Oni tries to guess who the Shingenchi is.

The more players you have, the more challenging it may become.

Give it a try!

6th Christmas Guessing Game: Easy Crafts You Can Make and Play as a Parent-Child Pair!
Christmas target game!

How about making a ring toss game you can use at parties? Using colored construction paper, you’ll make a Christmas tree and hats as the targets, plus the rings.

First, to make the tree, prepare a square sheet of origami paper and fold it in half to make a rectangle, aligning the left and right edges.

Next, open the fold, then fold the two bottom corners in toward the center.

Fold the new edges so they overlap at the center, tuck in any excess paper, and shape it into an isosceles triangle to finish.

The hat is made the same way, so decorate it with stickers or pom-poms to complete it.

For the rings, take two strips of construction paper, fold each in half lengthwise, twist them together into one strip, and then connect the ends to form a circle.

Merry Christmas Rhythm Game!

Merry Christmas Rhythm Game!

“Merry-Cri Rhythm Game” is a rhythm game that even children can enjoy.

When someone says “Santa’s beard,” stroke your chin as if showing a beard while saying “Ho ho ho.” When someone says “Santa’s sleigh,” stretch both hands forward and shake them while saying “Jingle jingle jingle.” Listen carefully to which one is called out and move so you don’t mix them up.

Speeding up the rhythm increases the difficulty, so try that once you get the hang of it.

Fun for kids and adults! Balloon Battle

[Balloon Battle] How to play the balloon relay
Fun for kids and adults! Balloon Battle

Here’s a game called “Balloon Battle” that uses long balloons and round balloons.

Prepare one long balloon for each participant.

After inflating the balloons, each participant holds a long balloon, and at the start signal, they pass the round balloon to the opponent.

The rule is that you can’t use your hands—you must pass using the long balloon.

Balloons are light, and if you misjudge your strength, they’ll drift away.

If you drop the balloon, you lose, so be careful when passing.

The game is basically played by two people, but it could also be fun as a team relay.
