Magic

Let’s liven up Christmas with an easy magic trick♪ The multiplying stars

How about trying a classic performance like magic? Magic might sound difficult, but there are plenty of tricks—from simple ones even children can do to those that use special props.

It’s also a good idea to adjust the difficulty depending on your audience.

For children, easy-to-understand tricks that use familiar items like colored construction paper or newspapers are recommended.

Cookie Toss

[Let's Make and Play!] 3 Christmas Games

It’s a game where you toss cookie mascots into boards or bags decorated with Santa Claus and reindeer—icons essential to Christmas.

There are holes where Santa’s and the reindeer’s mouths are, so you make cookies sized to fit those openings and throw them in.

Since Christmas treats usually give off a happy vibe, it’s important to draw them with smiling faces to get that across.

You can enjoy the game with various rules, such as seeing how many cookies you can get in within the time limit.

Santa Fukuwarai Game

Santa Fukuwarai Game - Christmas English Party

When you think of fukuwarai, you probably picture a New Year’s game, right? But there’s no need to limit it to the New Year holiday.

The classic versions feature Hyottoko or Otafuku faces, but how about trying a fukuwarai with Santa Claus’s face at a Christmas party? The great thing about fukuwarai is that you can enjoy it without worrying about the number of people or the time.

You can play solo, and if you have a big group, you can give hints and cheer people on, saying things like, “Move the nose a little higher!” It also sounds fun to make a fukuwarai set together by hand.

Finger dance

#59 [Easy Performance] Finger Action 'A Whole New World' 🌠

How about trying a “finger dance,” an art form expressed using only hand movements? Prepare a screen or partition to serve as a stage, then perform by extending just your hands from behind it and moving them to the music to create various expressions.

You can simply show the movements of your fingers and hands as they are, but wearing colorful gloves or brightly colored work gloves will make it look even more striking.

Christmas basket

[Play] We actually tried playing “Christmas Basket,” introduced on Hoiku TV [Kindergarten/Nursery]

This is a Christmas-themed twist on the game Fruit Basket, where everyone sits in a circle and people who match the prompt move from their spots.

Each participant holds one of three types of cards—Christmas Tree, Reindeer, or Santa Claus—and these are also used as prompts.

Alongside everyday prompts, you can enjoy the strategy of guessing when the card-based prompts will come up.

The game also tests your ability to move quickly so you’re not left without a seat, so be careful not to bump into others and get hurt.
