[2026] Easy Sports Anyone Can Do: Popular Yuru Sports (11–20)
Hat Rugby
This is a game called Hat Rugby, where you see if you can reach the goal without dropping a rugby ball balanced on a fedora.
You score points by making a try at the goal without dropping the ball.
You may swat the ball to knock it off when passing an opposing team, but otherwise you must not use your hands.
If you drop it, you have to start over from the starting point.
Teams compete on how many tries they can successfully make.
Turnip dinner tonight.
Among yuru-sports, this one is particularly unique—and tonight’s “Turnip Dinner” is highly recommended.
It blends cooking with sports.
First, players draw a card.
On it are the name of a dish and a cooking method.
However, the only tools used are a turnip-like item equipped with sensors and some cooking utensils.
That way, you can enjoy movements that are simpler yet more dynamic than actual cooking.
Another highlight is the wide range of difficulty in the cooking tasks, so you can keep playing for a long time without getting bored.
Face match
Guaranteed to make you laugh, we present Face Match.
First, two players stand in front of the screen.
Various facial expression icons appear on the display; players align their faces with the icons and mimic the same expression.
Facial expression recognition determines whether they match, and if they do, points are awarded.
The player who earns the most points wins.
It gets you moving just enough, and it’s sure to entertain spectators as well.
The inclusion of features like combos adds depth to the rules, which is another appealing aspect.
Bob Isley
If you’re looking for an activity that makes the most of teamwork, “Bobisleigh” is perfect.
It’s similar to bobsleigh.
First, the player sits on a dedicated seat.
When the seat moves, the on-screen athlete moves in sync.
However, the player cannot see the screen.
That’s where a second player watches the screen and gives instructions.
Not being able to see the screen adds a thrilling sense of suspense.
I hope you’ll try this challenge with someone close to you and put your teamwork to the test.
Electric Hot Spring
Hot springs as a sport? It feels a bit strange, doesn’t it.
This “Electric Onsen” lets you play and compete with digital content projected onto the bathwater while you soak.
The rules are: you must stay in the bath the whole time, and if your lower body comes out of the water, you’re out.
It sounds simple, but you’ll need to be careful not to get overheated!
Kaji-cise (a portmanteau of household chores + exercise)
For those thinking, “Is there any exercise I can do at home?” I’d like to introduce “housework-cise.” First, point to and confirm the spots you’ll clean, then start with some stretching.
After that, move on to the actual cleaning—er, housework-cise.
For example, when wiping low windows, give your calves a good stretch; when vacuuming, stretch your Achilles tendons.
There are movements tailored to different cleaning tasks.
Check the motions that match the areas you want to clean.

rod soccer
“Stick Soccer” is a game where you control a soccer ball with a stick and aim for the goal.
It’s a sport you can fully enjoy even without any soccer experience.
Make the stick by rolling up newspaper or similar materials.
You can make it longer and decorate it with colored tape, too! Divide into teams, sit facing each other on chairs, and start the game! Set a goal, and the team that first uses their sticks to move the ball to that point wins.
Since it’s a team sport, communicating with your teammates is also important!
